- The Thiels image very nicely - very large soundstage, but the
- Paradigm and Vandersteen also image quite well as well. The
- 2.2s do not have the low freq. (bass) response that the Paradigm and
- Vandersteen have though.
-
- Speaker buying is very subjective - he should not buy speakers
- without hearing them first, under any circumstances. I think
- your neighbour is better of choosing amoung the 2 speakers
- he can hear. Both The Export Monitors and 2CE are excllent speakers.
