Thiel Owners

Thank You for sharing that funny CES story involving Nelson. He was a good sport taking one for the team. What a gas! You were  a good friend that day accommodating him in the ambulance enroute to ER.

Could the Doc have  been an audiophile as well? You guys had all of the fun.

Happy Listening!

Thank You for the update. It seems like the speakers auditioned by your friend were under-powered via the Onkyo? Room acoustics and speaker placement may have had a negative impression as well?  I can advise to hold out for a personal audition, as a time-phase-coherent loudspeaker, is a different design from traditional. At the least, seek out a Vandersteen 3A Signature or 5A model there in the Dallas/Houston/SATX area, until a Thiel Audio speaker becomes available. From experience, contact John Fort Audio in Dallas. He usually has quite a bit of used/demo gear on-hand and is a pleasure to consult.

Happy Listening!

2nd Note- if you  have a Ryan Speakers dealer/retailer in your relative area, seek out an audition as well. the R630 has a very similar Thiel-like texture/timbre presentation and sound. Keep me posted.

Happy Listening!
