Thiel Owners

jon - all the Thiel aluminum drivers are annodized which deposits a coating which is often marketed as "ceramic". Your 2.3 driver is an early example of Thiel aluminum diaphragms. When gotten right, those metal drivers have far better resolution than paper, but paper can be pretty good and is very forgiving. I think the 2.2 midrange was Thiel's last paper cone, which was actually augmented with polypropylene fibers for greater stiffness and consistency than plain paper.

Tom,

Thanks for the link to that strata-gee article.

Your previous post is now making some sense ;-)

I'd followed all those strata-gee articles documenting the decline of Thiel as it happened.   It was great that there was a writer interested in following the story.  The strata-gee writer seemed to have quite an interest in the Thiel company.  Any particular reason?  Was he a high end audo fan? 

Those articles always make me want to give my Thiel speakers a hug :)

prof - Ted Green runs a technology consulting company. His interest in Thiel is as a former performing musician / bandleader with an inherent interest in David rather than Goliath. He seems to know brands and nuances very well, but has never said he was an audiophile or Thiel owner. He does admire what we did.

I am in direct contact with the bankruptcy court as well as some recommendations from this forum. It seems there is a streamlined process whereby an "affinity group" can form an expedited company to purchase assets such as the intellectual property of the bankrupted Thiel LLC. Hmmm

That is quite a collection of speakers- you are certainly a Thiel Man at heart.  Several of the guys here own the CS 2.2 as well as the 3.5 model.
If you have not done so, read this thread from post #1 to the present. There is a plethora of good, solid information in this thread.

Happy Listening!
