@prof @jafant Don't believe I'm doxing him, but Larry was Director of Sales, and Marketing at Thiel Audio ~2000. He's mentioned the positions in other threads on here.
With respect to the 2.4SE numbers: according to Rob's memory they made ~200 of the 300 run. The paperwork is lost which is why the number is inexact. Sounds like everything went to hell, with the closing of the original Lexington, KY location, and the laid-off staff walking out unceremoniously. Also, it doesn't appear the speakers were "buttoned up" sequentially either, which could lead to the situation of my pair (181, 182) being the last to leave the factory and yet, not be the highest numbered ones.
I wonder if it's worth putting together a Signature Edition Registry, to see what numbers are out there, and their location?
Cheers,
Warren
