Thiel Owners

tom,

I remember way back when I had the CS6s at my place, they were the most luxurious speaker in terms of fit and finish I'd ever had.  The wood finish was simply gorgeous, a fairly dark brown with strong grain - I forget the name of the finish (macassar ebony?)


Did you do that work? 


Also:  Weren't Jim and Kathy married at one point?

tomthiel, sorry if I pulled on a scab.

No apologies required or sought. I am merely shedding light on the back-story because some of you guys are interested. No scab, really, just some story that usually gets politely ignored.

Prof - yes, the CS6 and 1.5 were my last products before leaving in 1995. The machinery and manufacture processes all continued until the sale in 2012 when the factory was dismantled.

That Macassar Ebony had no stain, that was the natural color of that South Seas species. 

Also, No. It's not that simple.

Tomthiel, Because Thiel; I expected a technical explanation. I completely understand the dynamics of business and personal decisions. I didn't mean to pry, but your candor is appreciated.

Tom I love reading the back stories keep them coming!!! Glad you’re on this forum!! David
