    Thiel is a good brand and my in-law has very old CS 2.x and CS3.x but I personally favor to Focal and Paradigm better mainly because they are easier to drive and set it up. Regardless, Thiel, Focal, B&W, or Paradigm they are 1 step higher than the Bose. Good luck and enjoy it.
    How much for this CS1.6 pair?
    you couldn't compare a paradigm to a bose system, and neither can you compare a Thiel speaker to a paradigm.

    Thiels are in a completely different league.

    Thiel CS 1.6's come in at 3k a pair.

    Be careful...

    Price has no correlation to performance. Ego, yes. Performance, no.

    The great thing about audio is its very personal nature. We all hear differently and we all have different acoustic environments. What sounds as good as a Thiel (or Paradigm) to some, sounds like SounDesign to another. There is no right or wrong as there will never, ever be a mechanical transducer that can reproduce a live event perfectly. It's simply impossible.
