Pandaman617 Senior Audioholic Apr 26, 2019 582 0 18 40 Westfield, Massachusetts Jun 12, 2022 #1 I have an opportunity to pick one of these up new, unused in the original box for $425. Any input from you guys? The specs seem impressive but I’m more looking for input from anyone who’s owned or heard one. 1,000-watt RMS amplifier two 10" front-firing drivers LFE input frequency response 17-300 Hz (±.5dB) line-level input frequency response 12-300 Hz (±.5dB) acoustic output: up to 105dB @ 20Hz, 112dB @ 30Hz sensitivity 120dB

BoredSysAdmin Audioholic Slumlord Aug 21, 2007 15,619 0 113 New Joisey Jun 12, 2022 #3 Given its original (back in 2002) retail price of it nearly $4k (over $6k in 2022 money adjusted for inflation), I'd say $425 I'd say it's one heck of the deal assuming the unit is fully functional. Thiel went out of biz in 2018 so don't expect much service from them. Reactions: Pandaman617

I’m picking it up tomorrow afternoon I’ll let you guys know the outcome

I'd test it on-site before handing over the $.....but does sound like a good deal but almost too good a deal considering how many Thiel fans out there....

Pandaman617 Senior Audioholic Apr 26, 2019 582 0 18 40 Westfield, Massachusetts Jun 14, 2022 #9 So the seller clarified it’s not brand new, as I asked him if he was the original owner and if not knew it’s history. He’s selling it for a “friend” but stated his friend has a large collection of high end gear but isn’t too computer savvy so he’s listing his items for him. I was supposed to check it out last night but he rescheduled for Saturday as apparently he had to run out to NYC for some sort of family emergency. Regardless if this is true or not I told him no money changed hands until I test it and verify it performs as it should and he agreed. If the whole thing is a farce I’m ready to pull the trigger on an SVS SB2000 Pro to complement my existing sealed subs. That being said I really, really, REALLY hope it works and even if it’s used I’m hoping I can use that to leverage a lower price.

Pandaman617 Senior Audioholic Apr 26, 2019 582 0 18 40 Westfield, Massachusetts Jun 15, 2022 #10 Picked it up early for at the last minute from the guy’s wife. Works perfectly. It’s built extremely well and the 20-200hz test sweeps I fed it really sounded great! Reactions: Alex2507, Eppie, sega411 and 2 others
