Thiel/Crutchfield

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!

Rcprince,
In all due fairness to Crutchfield, right next to the price is the word "each" in red (Summer 2007 catalog, p.71). After buying a car cd player from them a couple of years ago I still get their catalogs in the mail.

I can imagine some people who might use an acousticly transparent screen in a front projector system using a matching center floor stander in their Home Theatre. I can also see some confusion if Thiel priced their smaller speakers (some of which may have been primarily designed to be used as center, side/rear speakers) singularly and then priced their larger floor standers in pairs.

I would think with Thiels being hard to drive, and a somewhat demanding speaker to place. that Crutchfield would be the last place to sell and advertise their speakers.

I like how yesterday, Thiel was a well-respected, extremely customer service friendly, high-end speaker manufacturer and today, with the ability to buy them from Crutchfield, they are no longer any good.

Seems like a smart way to reach a much larger customer base without undercutting current dealers and having to deal directly with customers. (They ship direct from Thiel but all transactions are through Crutchfield.)
