Thiel This Speaker

Posted Mon Jun 5, 2006, 8:59 PM ET — By Fred Manteghian

The new Thiel 3.7 prototypes, while otherwise superb, sounded lean in the bass. Blame it on the room or the newness of the design. By the time they come out (I heard in the fall), I'm sure the bass issue will be corrected. From the midrange up, they were solid and coherent – a Thiel signature. Sure, the unusual drivers look like spinners you'd see driving around LA, but they sure sounded great. Oh yeah, the reason for the update to Shane's previous blog – rumored price is just under $10,000.

Lean in the bass is actually what some of us might call acceptable. Certainly better than mid bass bumps so common in other designs.....we shall see...
