Thiel Owners

Nice! nkonor-
when one steps up to that level, Rockport or Marten, be prepared to step up in electronics (CH Precision, Constellation, Gryphon, dCS) as well.

Happy Listening!

Absolutely! oblgny-

Thiel ,under Jim's designs and production, does serve as a reference point.
After all, some of you guys own models 20+ years old and older. Backed by
Rob there in Kentucky for continued service and parts, it is a no-brainer.

Others like Dave Garretson whom offers excellent OEM parts and upgrades to cross-over (s). Seals the deal for me.  My decision was quite easy.

Happy Listening!

As above,

I only know of (1) Thiel Dealer that has these speakers post Jim's death.
Goldprint Audio in NC.  Taylor is a good guy and operates out of his personal residence.

He gives the newest offerings a positive review. He carries Krell and Kimber Kable as well.

jafant,

Why? Is something wrong or some deficiency with my current Pass amps?

Thanks

I have not read about an owner using Pass Labs on those ultra high-end speaker models.  I suppose that the top of the line PL would work nicely.

Figure $100k on a pair of said speakers. Add another $100K (at least) on gear to drive them. Finally, most important, another $50K (low end) on proper cabling to tie the system together.

By my math= $250K to get started.  Happy Listening!
