The new Thiels are out. They look like an end to certain era.
I'm surprised noone posted this earlier.
December 2014 - Thiel Audio TT1 - Bearing obviously no resemblance whatsoever to the classic Thiel style, this 2015 model for $5'798/pr endeavours to take the brand's renewal under its new ownership to the next level. As part of the new 3rd Avenue Collection, the press release describes the TT1 as "a 4-driver array with multi-order crossover network in a heavily braced vented MDF enclosure. The sculpted elliptical side panels are created with proprietary tooling to achieve the most refined visual presentation. The rigid baffle construction and midrange mounting architecture have been engineered with a focus on back-wave optimization, resulting in unusually flat response and overall clarity. Another critical aspect of the TT1 is the sophisticated manufacturing process, designed to ensure that each production loudspeaker meets the exacting performance specifications of the reference design."
