ITs true that THiel faces a lot of competition these days whereas they ruled a certain niche in the audio market in years past, so that has to be a challenge for them.
Companies have to make a profit. Thiel will do that by selling new speakers. The plain fact is they will do whatever they decide is best to do that. Companies need to innovate usually to remain relevant but they would be foolish to trash the Thiel brand by selling new products that do not retain the things Thiel is known for.
I hope it works out well for all. Change may be good or bad. Try to keep an open mind. HOlding on to the past solely usually leads to disapointment.
The problem with good speakers (like Thiel) is that they tend to stick around a long time. That means new customers are needed. Thiel will do what it thinks it needs to do to get new customers. Hopefully, they take care of existing customers as best they can along the way. If not, well, there are other good options out there.
