Yes...Thiel makes a terrific speaker - fast, balanced, open, good soundstage etc. My comments below refers to the MCS1 & 2.3.
My only critique (and minor ones at that) are:
1. The Thiels do not image as deep, high or layered as some speakers
2. The bass is tight and tunefull - but not the low, low notes (35Hz)
3. The binding posts are of mediocre quality
4. The spiking is also of mediocre quality
Still the best sounding non-planar speaker under $4,000. Jim Thiel is above the dirty politics of review payola - but alas, he (and Keith Herron) are a dying breed.
