I am about to enter into the real of higher fidelity music after years of going without. I can't afford the high end stuff but want to get the best I can for my budget.

I will be listening primarily to classical (Baroque, Renaissance) and light jazz. 2-channel only although I guess I may need a subwoofer. I will not be using these for surround sound or movies or rock and roll.

I listened to the Thiel C1.6s in an audio store and really like them. Also listened to some PSBs (I think) and was not as pleased with the sound. Someone has suggester Energy but I have not hear a set. Also listened to some Vienna Audio which I liked but not in the same store as the Thiels.

So, for my needs and the desire to keep my speaker budget around @2K (overall budget around $3500-4000) are there any other speakers I should seriously consider?

Thanks!
