| Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ? stringreen,I'd surmise that would be true of the current Thiel owners, but Rob certainly has cared about us Thiel owners. In August he was letting me know he had spare parts for the legacy speakers. | |
| Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ? Thanks very much for Rob's info, tmsrdg!I haven't been able to get in touch with him recently via email, so it's good to have a phone number. I really have to figure out which Thiels I'm keeping so I know what spare drivers to order! | |
| Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ? unsound,For those of us unfamiliar: Could you explain Bill's relationship to Thiel?Did he work for Thiel and might he have spare parts? I don't see Thiel listed under the brands he services. Thanks. | |
| Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL? I'm sure it depends on which MBLs. I have the 121 monitors and have found them very easy to place in my room (13' x 15') for great sound. But then, I have a good sounding room. | |
| Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL? peter s,I'm sure it depends on which MBL speakers you are talking about - though all are very low sensitivity I *think* they tend to not have crazy impedance. Given my experience using Conrad Johnson amps on my MBLs I'd guess that VAC amps, espec... | |
| Thiel Owners Still loving both speakers. I have the 3.7s running again and after two years they still blow my mind. I also crank them quite loud when I'm listening outside the room (they are down just a short bit of hallway from my computer chair). They... | |
| Thiel Owners I've never blown a driver in any speaker I've owned in my whole life (and that's a lot of them). Some people either have bad luck, or like their music super loud I guess. | |
| Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ? Rob Gillum has been very helpful to me since I bought my 3.7s a couple years ago. He was in touch as recently as last month to say he had parts for the 3.7s. Though I have not been in touch with him since. | |
| Thiel Owners Oh man, that interview with the new CEO!She kept talking about how the company had to remember they are a "speaker company" and that was their identity. Said it numerous times.But when it comes to speakers what does she say? Aside from a pair of... | |
| Thiel Owners The first post-Jim Thiels actually got some good reviews. I really think they may have done better under a new company name. I think putting them under "Thiel’ actually hurt them, because the whole reason Thiel’s name meant anything had to do with... | |
| Thiel Owners Anyone visit the current Thiel website lately?Boy it's depressing. It looks like a company that is almost gone, like a generic web site selling over the net lifestyle products:https://www.thielaudio.com/I went through it wondering "where are the ... | |
| Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL? The OP has posted only 5 times in the last 7 years, started 4 threads with a perfect record of asking a question and then disappearing.Wish I checked before bothering to answer. Boo! | |
| Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers soundsrealaudio,That is perfectly understandable. A dealer or speaker manufacturer at a show is there to show the product in the best light possible. It's a show to benefit the manufacturer/dealer, not set up for attendees to do their shopping.O... | |
| Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL? LOL, I had absolutely no idea what you were talking about until I finally saw the word "car" at the end. I'm not a car guy. But whatever that meant, you have my sympathies :-) | |
| Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL? dlcockrum,Talking about "stupid money.."I once had a chance to bid for a once-in-a-lifetime priced MBL 101Ds (I think on audiogon). I was in a bidding war and put in my last bid, way leaping over the other guy, in the last 10 seconds or so. A so... |
