Very informative information - batmanfan. Bryston and Thiel are a sonic match. Good to read about another brand of cabling that mates well with our loudspeakers. I have only heard a few entry-level Straight Wire cables from a few years ago. I wish that I had written down those models at that time. Happy Listening! |

Hi Jab, If S&V were listing them for $1400/each, then prices must have gone up without my knowledge, which is quite possible. Back at the end of 2013, Crutchfield began clearing their Thiel inventory since they stopped carrying the brand. They sold the HigherPlane 1.2 for 50% off the MSRP of $990, at which point I grabbed a couple. I confirmed it by checking my order confirmation which I still have. Also, check out Thiel's press release back in 2007: http://wircmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Inwall_Onwall_REL.pdf Again, prices certainly may have gone up since then but the original MSRP was $990 each. |
