Thiel is offically going...going...gone. Auction Time

with 20 more days to go, some of the prices on some lots will spin out of control.

Not the real Thiel speakers. This non Jim Thiel design fell flat as a pancake. Also lots of Aurora streamers available. An OEM made in China that they pasted a Thiel logo on and charged a premium price. Their marketing was all screwed up. In the end they were trying to hit the female audio crowd. Whatever that is. If you want a positive way of changing ownership look at Conrad Johnson.

Another one bites the dust. Very sad!

The attempt to sell ridiculous products to the female market was precious.  I'd bet that the Mark Mason designed products are great, though.  They had no reason to exist because there are already a bunch of companies making similar speakers.  At the list prices they weren't competitive but I bet they'll be spectacular at what they're likely to be auctioned off for.  I have way too many speakers and I'm still tempted to buy some.  I've been following audio closely for around 25 years and this is the best opportunity I've ever seen.  I haven't seen comparable discounts since Best Buy dropped Vienna Acoustics and all the floor models got blown out for ridiculous prices.  I got a pair of Mozart Grands for $490.  Not bad for a 3k pair of speakers.  

I think it's worth noting that the last ceo is now a mortgage originator.
