Thiel Owners

Are you still considering a 2-way Monitor under the Thiel Renaissance moniker?

I know that we had a prior discussion last year. No doubt that any new Product post 3.6 will be welcomed with enthusiasm and open ears.

Happy Listening!

jafant - yes, my workhorse with outside collaborators is based on the 02. We invent and update ideas and can send them coast to coast at reasonable cost and risk. The fruit of these experiments will hopefully take some marketable form, probably in a very limited edition, defined by the fact that a phase coherent stand-mount monitor can be subverted so many ways. Ear height is absolutely important. Floor standing greatly solves that. Bass fundamentals are quite important. Larger floor cabinets help that. Etc. But, yes, there will be something. There is something now and it's pretty exciting compared to history and to what else is out there.

Far and away the biggest deal is developing some team that wants to take what we're learning into the future. In my mid seventies, that's not me. When we have actual goods to show, we'll start pulling together a company.

jafant - by post 3.6 product I meant that the drivers will use all of the 3.6 technologies plus some additional ones. I'm not presently addressing any products newer than the discrete-driver ones. Those drivers are geriatric and mostly obsolete. Replacements and enhancements will keep those products in use for decades to come. The 2.4 is an exception because it landed in my lap, lots of love there, and saying no is hard for me.

Thank you for the update. Good to read that your effort and hard work is developing into a real product.  Floor stander vs. Monitor is a tough choice indeed.

I know you guys will invent the best of both designs, making it your own creation.

The buyer’s market is there for either One. Regarding the CS 2.4 , once you have had a taste, it is very difficult to say No. I am glad that you found your pair. I still have your 02 request at the Top of list equally.  Maybe a sweet “Barn find@ will land on Us.

Happy Listening!

“Barn find” : corrected.
