Upgrading from Thiel CS3.6 to Avalon

I'm considering upgrading my 20yr-old Thiel CS3.6 to Avalon Opus or Eidolon. Do you guys think it worth the upgrade? My listening room is measuring 17(W)x13(L)x8(H) ft.(speakers along the long wall) Which one(Opus or Eidolon) makes a better choice?
BTW, my other components: Esoteric K-05, Gryphon Diablo, audience Au24e XLR and cables.
Thanks!!

I don't believe it is an upgrade. You will lose the phase and time coherence and you will know it when it is missing. If you're at all like me, when I moved away from Thiel to Dynaudio for a couple of years, I moved back because I missed that pinpoint positioning of instruments and accuracy of timbre that the Thiels furnished.

Why not truly upgrade to 3.7s? Or Vandersteen 5As?
