Thiel Owners

Serious question, one of Thiel's long time employees went to Bryston, his name is Gary something. When the patents on Thiel's 1rst order speakers expire, would a company such Bryston or any other company take up the mantle and reproduce "real" Thiels again? A new an improved 2.4 and 3.7. Even a new 7.2.

That would be great!  Bryston has serious cred. 

I think Mike B here in Texas who just replaced the 2.4s he sold to me knows Gary.  He's spoken about calling him with questions while I always just call or email Rob.  Too bad the new guys trashed the old equipment Jim Thiel had put together to make his prototype drivers.  Brings us to the same question of what will happen when the replacement parts are gone from Rob's stock.  He already wa render me when I bought a used SS1 sub and had the px02 reconfigured to my 2.4s that they only have the filters left for the 2 series (same works with the 2.7) and I they had no replacement amps for the SS1 although a new series sub was in the works whose amp would be interchangeable.  I fear counting on things like that with the owner turnover.
I'll shoot Mike an email.  He's probably busy these days with a 2 channel with CS6s and a surround with 2.4s, doesn't have much free time.
Does anyone know who bought the 3.7s on EBay?  I'd love to know what they paid.

The 3.7 went for $4,750.00. The listing was for local pick up only in Georgia.
