Thiel/Crutchfield


I guess it's not news anymore that Crutchfield is selling Thiel online. What seems odd is the pricing: 2.4's going for $2500, and 3.7's for $5000, shipping included.

Can anyone confirm the accuracy of these prices? If they are accurate what are the implications?

Just shows you how far Thiel has dropped. Where are the good old days of high pitched, chalk on a blackboard highs for the hearing impaired, only available through your local dealer?

Best Buy prices their higher end speakers per speaker also... to help reduce the sticker shock is my guess.
The internet has changed things. Thiel is exploring new and different ways of reaching the customer without pissing off their remaining dealers. Nice move.
Seems like a cheap way to audition them at home for the cost of one way shipping. I really can't believe they are going to sell many of these sound unheard. I can just imagine the sound of the 3.7's on a nice sony reciever and dvd player!
