I'll chime in and make some observations. The Thiel CS5 had a purely resistive 2 ohm impedance. I would not have a speaker with this again. It was sealed and had no filter or anything to protect the woofers from really low frequencies. If you put 5 Hz through it the 5 would try to produce it. Looking back on it not a "safe speaker".
Next, I have re-thought what I think about HT. I think it may be better to have a relatively inexpensive system to play the movies. Aquaman is worse than the 1812. If you have a thoroughbred 2 channel system, do you really want the enormous explosions of some movies?
I'm stuck in this regard. I'm not anxious to play Aquaman or movies like it through my new sub and speakers that I'm going to be keeping possibly for the rest of my life. I think having a rugged dedicated HT system has a lot of advantages.
