Thiel Owners

$400!  Sure the speakers are worth it, but I sure miss the old days at Thiel. Thiel's service was nonpareil.  Back then if the drivers weren't obviously abused Shari Graham would only ask that you pay for the shipping there, the rest would be gratis, even if the speakers were well out of warranty. 

Excellent discussion and exchanges of info guys! Way to go.
Always an informative read from the experts. it appears that Thiel does still offer parts/service for the older models via Rob in Kentucky as above.

Keep us posted -Richardp01.

Happy Listening!

Well,  I'm waiting to hear from Thiel if they have either a replacement driver or if they can repair the driver.  I found someone who has a new Thiel driver for $225 but even this seems a bit much for a speaker that only commands a $500 resale value.  It's kind of like putting a $5,000 transmission in a twenty-eight year old Volkswagen.  If I don't find something for $100 or so, I will just drive these babies into the ground.  For now they still sound fine.  I am mystified on how the drivers became damaged.

Mr. Unsound:

If I parted out my set of Thiels what would you be interested in, at what price?

TY- richardp01.

hope Thiel is able to assist you. IMO, no price of service/repair may be placed onto a fine set of speakers. The key is to ask yourself "do I want to continue w/ this model or try a different loudspeaker?"

Happy Listening!
