I am finally going to upgrade my stereo pair of Thiel model "2 2"s to a
5.1 surround system.

The Thiel center and surround speakers seem reasonable in terms of
sound, size, and price. But the SW-1 subwoofer seems awfully expensive
at $4800 (without the Thiel crossover, which I don't need).

Does anyone who owns or has seriously auditioned the Thiel sub have an
opinion on whether it's worth the money? Or perhaps recommend another
powered sub which would work well with Thiels?

Thanks,
- Bob
