Anyone compared Aerial 20T and Eggleston Andra II?

Andra 2's are by no way fatiguing so something was wrong and I personally would not come to a conclusion and make my purchase listening at dealers location. I will say both speakers are great but to really do a proper comparison one would need to do this back to back in your own place.

After 10 years of Thiel, including the 7.2 for the past 5 years, I went with Avalon.

The Thiel are excellent speakers. What electronics are you using to drive them? If I wanted to make a move to tube amps I might consider a different speaker as they are not easy loads for the tubes, but they are first rate speakers.

Audiolui,
I guarantee that if you move away from Thiel (or Vandersteen) that, provided you are driving them correctly now with high current amplification, within a period of 2 years you will be craving for phase and time coherence once again.

When the detail, presentation and timbre accuracies of those 7.2s are no longer in your life, I am certain you will evenutally miss them and want them back.

Just so that I told you so. Cheers,
Steve

I agree with Steve. Not that the other speakers you are interested are not excellent; but if the Thiel's are you weakest link, you must have some might fine electronics and front-end.
