Thiel Owners

For the record regarding product development. Jim was a sole developer with support from Gary, Rob, Kathy, etc. The 3.7 was his last product. The 2.7 was a spin-off, as the 2 series had always been. It took $6 figures to develop that product with outside engineering resources, primarily a Canadian consulting design engineering firm working with the Canadian National Research Institute. I understand that Phil was one of the designer-candidates scouted for possible contribution.

Good to see you -tomthielThank You for the additional information and clarification on this matter.
Happy Listening!

Tom T;
Many apologies for the “ fake news”

i always thoijght if it was posted on the internet; It ws a fact!!!!

lol

i guess the point was:
2 different people or consultants designed the crossover
Could that ( different designers) be a variable

keep up the good work

No trouble- Jeff

Jeff, the point is that such a system (CSnext) required far more horsepower than available from an individual who may have played some minor role.

Creating a design team after Jim's departure was a huge undertaking. The 2.7, 1.7 and MCS (#next) were developed at costs so great that the new owners abandoned that path.
