Thiel is officially closed!!

Considering how inept the ownership was I don't really consider this sad.  Now that Thiel is officially closed there is some chance for another entity to resurrect something that is at least in the spirit of real Thiel speakers.  Current ownership is essentially just holding the name hostage.  Let it die or bring back something that can legitimately be called Thiel.  The $900 plastic battery powered abomination is done and we won't be hearing about it anymore.  We can all be thankful for that.

Thanks for the update but the saddest day in the Thiel legacy was Jim's passing.  The second saddest day was Beavis and Butthead buying the company.

i couldn't agree more withjon_5912 more, this is good news, let the good name Rest In Peace.  

Wonder if they will offer drivers and tweeters at the Kentucky facility??

Hopefully, other discussions around this have indicated so.  

Most definitely disheartening, though watching this unfold, not surprising.  I for one, feel sad about how things wound up.  When such a leader of this sort of entity moves on, the entity itself normally passes along, as well.

Jim Thiel sat at the top of the high-end loudspeaker world for a very long time.  He was a man of vision, conviction, and innovation.  His products reflected what he believed, and he refused to compromise
