Thiel Owners

I hope this is OK to leave here.  I saw these pop up and they look like they could be a good deal for someone.                                                                                           

Were they really $8900.00 new, or is that a crazy Canadian retail? That said, it looks like a great deal.

Nice catch! I hope that these 2.4 speakers find the next good home.

Happy Listening!

That could very well be the Canadian price of the CS2.4. In the USA, Thiel acted as its own distributor, managing marketing, promotion, retailers, reviewers, service, etc. We attributed about 25% of our sell price to those functions. In foreign markets (Canada is actually foreign, eh) a third party distributor supplies those functions. Even though we discounted export sales, distributors generally added more cost than we did, partly because their warranty services cost more than our in-house support. And the Canadian dollar sometimes fell considerably below the US dollar which was reflected in variable sell prices at different times. Canada was a good market for Thiel.

Agreed. $8900- is pretty close to the Canada price. I hope that you are well this day.

Did you find a new Space for Hot Rod Garage ?

Happy Listening!
