Every western reviews back in the 90s raved about these speakers. But a writer for one of Hong Kong's Audio magazine pointed out these issues in the lower mids and upper bass region. He even came up with a solution to fix the problem which involving doing some "surgery" to the speakers.I have my Thiel 3.6 for about 8 years now. They are picky. Mated with right components and they can sound fairly good, but far from "the best". Another way to solve the issue with the lower mids/upper bass is to get a pair of the Soundanchor base for these speakers. I have the older style. Not sure how the newer "low profile" ones compare. A friend of mine borrowed them to try on his 3.6 after trying several expensive (over $1k) speaker cables. He ended up ordering a pair. It brought more improvement than any of those cables.
But at around $1700 used, I think these are hard to beat. Except the fact that you will most likely need to spend more money changing the rest of your system. Then again, that applies to anytime you change your speakers.
