Seems even (the late) Art Dudley noticed the cabinetry skill in Thiel speakers.

I was just reading his review of the Volti Audio Vittoria speakers in which Art stated:

The build quality of my review pair, finished in bosse cedar, equals that of the finest American loudspeaker cabinetry I’ve seen, DeVore Fidelity and Thiel Audio included.

Way back in the late 90’s the CS6 were the first "real" pair of Thiels I had in the house and I never tired of looking at the quality of the build and cabinetry. It was magnificent and put lots of other speakers to shame.

jafant,

The review pair of CS 2.4SE are 005/300-006/300

They only made 150 pairs so I have third pair to roll out.

Hey prof - thanks for the Art Dudley reference. Time marches on. Even though we kept arm's length from our reviewers, I remember them all fondly. Critical review was a crucially important part of Thiel's very existence. Art Dudley, Wes Phillips and many others helped shape the industry and the companies in it via their thoughtful, informed appreciation and criticism.

Thiel's cabinets were a monumental undertaking - one that could not be justified except that we wanted to produce functional objects worthy of our intended customers' livng rooms. (And I got to travel extensively establishing our veneer supply network.) No complaints.
