Thiel Owners

Guys, the past few days have been an emotional roller coaster for us Thiel owners, but recent postings by Tom Thiel and reports from Rob Gillum are quite reassuring, to say the least. I would definitely be interested in hearing from anyone who has done any upgrading, especially with my models - CS3.6s or CS1.2s.

Thank You- Mr. Tom Thiel
no doubt that countless hours of research, testing and critical listening, led you and the Thiel team into each and every coherence -sourced loudspeaker. I will never forget my audition of the CS 2.4, the model that set my journey, in motion.
Happy Listening!

I'm thrilled to hear that their will be service for current Thiel owners.  The idea of getting upgraded crossovers also sounds great.  It would be a real upgrade for a reasonable price.  A pair of speakers that would be significantly better than my 3.7s would probably cost 30k or more and I might ultimately decide it wasn't an upgrade at all.

The question rolling around in the back of my head is whether there is anyone out there who might carry the brand forward?  Any possible successors?  Anybody interested in acquiring the name in order to continue Jim's work in any way?

This strikes me as denigrating language, BTW. At best, it implies stylish or luxurious, having nothing to do with SQ. Probably I'm nit-picking but wouldn't it be more sensible to call them "audiophile-grade" or "high performance" instead?
