Anyone heard the Thiel Subs

Kinsekd- Did Shari dim the lights and let 'em blast?? She did for me..
I had her play 'time' by Pink Floyd.Then she left and the tech,Rob came in and we played some Metallica!
I swear,I have not had such a rush in years.
The imaging was a good 5-6 feet outside the speakers..and the bass!!!
I never did meet or even see Mr.Thiel.I think he hides out most of the day.
When I was in the back in the work area, I noticed a cabinet about 5 feet high by about 3 feet wide by about 3 feet deep with 2 huge holes in it.
Rob told me its a cabinet for a prototype sub they are working on.It was mammoth! Anyone hear anything about a 'newer' sub coming out?
How'd ya like their demo room? Awesome,eh?

David99, thats the new Thiel SS4 sub. There's a pic of it on Thiels site.

The model SS4 employs two long-throw 15" woofers in a 51" H x 19" W x 26.5" D, 290 pound cabinet with up to 113 dB of output at 20 Hz and up to 120 dB at 30 Hz to meet the needs of consumers who desire extraordinary amounts of bass output for their home theater or music systems.

I see they now offer 4 subs. The old SW1 is now apparently the SS2. There is a smaller unit (SS1) and two larger ones.

David99,

No she didn't. I guess she must've thought you were cuter than I. ;o)

Actually, I had my wife and son with me, so my flexibility was somewhat limited.

BTW, I haven't seen any pricing information on the new Thiel subs. Has anyone else? Wondering how big a chunk these bad boys will take out of my budget.

It all depends on what you want this sub to do.The Thiel would do well in a 80% music system.It went deep but not the kind of deep that puts in the submarine in the movie U-571 .The trade offs would be music.This thing hits music between the eyes.Good luck.
