Anyone heard the Thiel Subs

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.

Tombowlus, you could have picked up an outboared RANE PE17 parametric EQ and poped it into the signal path for even more flexibility! Buying a sub because it had build in EQ's isn't my first consderation. I'd buy a better sub and do the EQ'ing myself!...that's me.
