Thiel Owners

It is nice to imagine innovations to the Thiel speakers but to really make this happen will take a considerable investment. I'm curious how many of us have resources to share to assist Tom in his pursuit and would be able to commit to make this a success. Tom is not immortal and will need support and cheering if not some simple help to verify the accuracy of his observations. I am very willing to contribute to such an initiative and am wondering if there are others. You can privately contact me if you prefer.

Excellent points all around. Ayre is successful due to Ryan Berry , Aerial Brown and Gary Mulder. Sure, the engineer has to be on-point, as well as, the business manager (CEO), customer service manager.

Happy Listening!

Right On!  I wished that I lived closer to Rob or Tom.  Members of the Panel feel free to chime in if located near these gentlemen. I am certain that additional assistance would be appreciated.

Happy Listening!

2nd Note;
A special Thank You to the DIY members of the Panel. Your hard work and passion,  to make Thiel loudspeakers better,  does not go unnoticed.
Happy Listening!

Certainly a valid question to ponder, for any small business reliant on the founders combination of drive, passion, technical and innovative chops needed to thrive...

I can assure you that Richard Vandersteen and I have had that exact conversation in some detail / I consider him a friend, peer and also a mentor in many things. His is a family business with son and daughter playing important roles. Nathan was the innovator behind subtle but effective innovation in the model 7 mk2. While I enjoy them immensely, I don’t expect them to be the end of the line.

i spent a career in high technology manufacturing and program management, always willing to help small firms in any way I can. All the best!
