Thiel is offically going...going...gone. Auction Time

The attempt to sell ridiculous products to the female market was precious.  I'd bet that the Mark Mason designed products are great, though.  They had no reason to exist because there are already a bunch of companies making similar speakers.  At the list prices they weren't competitive but I bet they'll be spectacular at what they're likely to be auctioned off for.  I have way too many speakers and I'm still tempted to buy some.  I've been following audio closely for around 25 years and this is the best opportunity I've ever seen.  I haven't seen comparable discounts since Best Buy dropped Vienna Acoustics and all the floor models got blown out for ridiculous prices.  I got a pair of Mozart Grands for $490.  Not bad for a 3k pair of speakers.  

I think it's worth noting that the last ceo is now a mortgage originator.

maybe she can partner up with rondi d'agostino from krell who is a real estate agent.

sad indeed
Jim and the company he built was special, downhill after his passing...

I willing to bet there was not one Thiel owner that sold his speakers for the Mark Mason models.

Still enjoying my 3.6s.  This used to be a great company.  Sold and unsuccessfully tried to milk its name.  Too bad.

If you want a positive way of changing ownership look at Conrad Johnson.

Agreed. They seem to be selling stuff actually worthy of the name.

The last "real" Thiel speakers were mighty impressive but that was a number of years ago now. Oh well.
