Thiel/Crutchfield


I guess it's not news anymore that Crutchfield is selling Thiel online. What seems odd is the pricing: 2.4's going for $2500, and 3.7's for $5000, shipping included.

Can anyone confirm the accuracy of these prices? If they are accurate what are the implications?

When did you last look at a Crutchfield catalog? I look at Music Direct, among others, aimed mostly at audiophiles...

Also, as Unsound suggests, does Crutchfield carry appropriate electronics?

This is an odd choice indeed.

I spoke with Gary today, customer service at Thiel, (regarding a repair on a cs1.6 that UPS damaged) and I happened to ask him about Crutchfield. He said that yes, they believe they will reach a new audience and that Crutchfield's customer service reputation is very strong.
