I certainly hope my 2 2s, 3.7s and mcs1 will still have parts and service available for a while. Once the abomination that is the current version of Thiel croaks I have to think there are enough Thiel owners and fans out there to resurrect some remnant of it. Maybe Kathy Gornik will buy it back for 3 cents on the dollar. That'd be fun. It'd be great if another manufacturer of unique audio products could buy it. Thiels would make a great alternative to Magnepan. Both great products offering great value but with different sounds and looks that will appeal to different people.
