'Revitalized' Thiel to Launch New Loudspeaker Line at CES
Thiel Audio at CES will take the wraps off the 3rd Avenue Collection, a line of speakers designed for two-channel and home theater sound. The line represents the “revitalization of the Thiel brand,” said the company, looking to come back after the death of founding engineer Jim Thiel and the sale of the company by co-founder Kathy Gornik. The $5,798 TT1 speaker uses a four-driver array and multi-order crossover in a heavily braced vented medium-density fiberboard enclosure, the company said. Shipping is slated for January, it said.
