Thiel Owners

It's in the air that Tomthiel is about to design some amazing upgrade even for the CS 3.6, I really can't wait to realize how much better they can sound. I consider the CS 3.6 a sort of very well sounding loudspeakers and very hard or impossible to beat at its original retail price so I wonder what is going to happen with this upcoming Tomthiel touch up?Keep studying Tom, the Thiel renaissance is in your hands. All we together will make Thiel never die.

Sad news.  Just received email from Audio Consultants (long time Chicago area dealer located in Evanston) that they will be closing their doors on December 21st.

I am not sure why but high-end audio is a pretty tough business. I think partly because the younger generation does not care much of "sound quality". Actually it’s hard for me to strike a conversation regarding high-end audio with anyone since I find most people are not really into it either.

For most people as long as there are some music playing from a pair of speakers, they’d be fine. I guess I belong to a dying breed. I tend to be rather particular about my system.

Thank You for the update on Audio Consultants. Anytime the Audiophile community loses a brick-and-mortar business, sad indeed.

Simon Zreczny, the owner of Audio Consultants, had a 52 year run, having opened in 1967.  Of note to this group is that they started with Thiel in 1981 and were for all intents and purposes the hub of the Thiel community in the Chicago area. They were a class act and will be missed.
