| Thiel Owners Pair of white 2.7s in VAhttps://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649579278-thiel-27-speakers-rare-white-like-new/ | |
| Thiel Owners @jazzman7, these just showed up in the last day or two. These same goofballs are offering a pair of Vienna Acoustics Mozarts for 4498. I bought a pair of Mozart grands for <500 when Best Buy dropped the line a while back. I realized how ridi... | |
| Thiel Owners pair of 2.4s at audio consultants until they close forever on 12/21. They're listed at 1700 but I think the extra 25% off on the front page puts them at $1,275. An obscene deal for what you're getting. Makes me wish I needed more speakers.http:... | |
| Customer Service at Bowers and Wilkins I traded in my B&Ws for Thiels about 7 years ago. Since then I've been kind of mad that I had the B&Ws for so long. The Thiels were better in every area I cared about. I had thought that the much larger company would be able to produce ... | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? @cd318, when I say I find it disgusting I'm not saying that I've never succumbed to this instinct myself. I don't respect it and when I catch myself doing it I'm certainly disgusted with myself. | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? I'm personally disgusted by conspicuous consumption and vanity products and that's all this is. It has no redeeming qualities. The 27k for paint is just an especially egregious example of it. I think it's something we should all avoid. Almost... | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? @andy2 - "high-end" isn't an interesting term. Is it high-end or not? What if it's only mid-end? What if it's 53.5678124326243% high-end? It's just not an interesting term. obviously. | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? @Andy, "high-end" is of no interest to me. I have no problem differentiating the two. People who are interested in audio want the best performance for however much they're willing to spend. People who are interested in high-end are of no intere... | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? "paint shop or three for large shiny objects starting at $100 m each" - what? It's not a "high end" forum. It's an audio forum. These are two very different things. An audio forum is for people interested in audio. A "high-end" forum is for p... | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? It's high time we admit that Wilson and a lot of other brands are vanity brands. Performance is far down the list of priorities. The silly prices are the appeal. It's sort of sad when you think about it. You find yourself in the top 0.1% and y... | |
| Do any of these interest you at all? (If you had the money)(Which I don't) I don't believe that all of those exist. The higherfi opulence tweeter looks like it's way too high. Is there a real picture of those anywhere? I suspect they've never made a pair but if someone decides to make a $300,000 deposit they'll make o... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant, It's interesting to think about what an ideal location for a retailer might be. 40 years ago I bet a pretty high percentage of people walking into Audio Consultants were people who lived in the neighborhood. I bet now almost none of them... | |
| Subwoofer could be a bad connection. If I were you I'd get some contact cleaner and spray it on both ends of the interconnect connecting the receiver to the sub. | |
| Thiel Owners I can't believe Audio Consultants is going away completely. They had 4 stores in the area only 2 or 3 years ago. I live about 10 minutes from where the Libertyville store was and that's where I've bought much of my stuff over the years. I'm in ... | |
| Thiel Owners "in-room power response" - I don't know what that means and if I ever find the time to look into it it'll probably be decades from now. I will say that maybe the biggest reason I became a Thiel guy is that the 20 year old 2 2's I got for a second... |
