Anyone compared Aerial 20T and Eggleston Andra II?

I currently own a pair of Thiel CS7.2 which is a very good speaker system. I have been happy with its performance. I am sure there are many reference quality speakers out there and very affordable at used price. So, being bitten constantly by my upgrade bugs, I like to ask opinions about these two speakers. Opinions from someone who has auditioned both speakers side by side would be great help. Thanks.

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.

Thanks for all your inputs. I still enjoy listening to my 7.2 which is, with right electronics, a high end bargain that can stack up against other speaker systems that cost twice as much or more. I am wondering if anyone has ever compared back to back the 20T or Andra II with the 7.2. I am interested in your honest opinions.
