Anyone heard the Thiel subs? They sound very promising.

I heard the same combo at Thiel as David99. Echo his opinion. I've been saving my pennies ever since...
The SW1 is an absolutely incredible sub. I wanted to put one into my system, but unfortunately, I have major room anomalies to deal with, and the Thiel didn't offer the level of control necessary to really tame my room (ended up with Velodyne DD-12).
I have the thiel sub in a ht room with thiel powerpoints. the room is odd shaped as it serves as a room for playing pool as well as av. The sub is great. Very flexible and very well matched to thepower points. You can do cheaper, but you cannot do better.
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.
