Jack - I second Dick Hardesty. When Havens & Hardesty was a hi fi dealer, he did justice to both Thiel and Vandersteen - we were both pleased. He visited Thiel's factory a couple of times and we got along very nicely. He preferred Vandersteen saying that the Vans were more musical on more recordings more often than Thiels. But he also zeroed in on what Thiel was doing, how we were approaching our work. Gone too soon.

 Yes another great lost way early... more reason to enjoy our passion of music and good sound NOW !!!!

@tomthiel. I took delivery today of a nearly pristine pair of 2.3 in natural Cherry veneer today from a great local Audiogon member.

serial numbers 4341 and 4342

They were original sold  by Thiel to Fred’s Sound of Music in Portland, OR ( I have been a customer there every now and then.. ) even the shipping boxes are fresh 

hope to listen to them this eve

missing the carpet spikes, what are dimensions? Or can I get those thru Rob ?

I have heard the Revel F208’s in a Listen Up show room. Not a bad showroom, actually a good one. I have the 2.4’s at home. The Revels seemed kind of dull or uninspiring. Now when I have listened to speakers at a dealers showroom, the ones I liked best in the long run are the ones that didn’t stand out to me, but were balanced and slightly dull compared to so many others.
