Terrible news! Condolences to his family and friends. Always my favorite speaker designer - the 3.6's blew me away some 15 years ago and have owned them ever since...
I do not know the man but am saddened by this news. I have always had tremendous respect for his products. A true loss!
Visionary. I've had a LOT of fun with Thiel speakers, and cut my audiophile "teeth" hearing those incredibly transparent speakers demonstrate the differences among components and the nuances of beautifully recorded material.
