THIELs Sing In Vegas At The 2010 Consumer Electronics Show

By Gary Reber


This is a followup report on CES 2010 from Thiel:

Thanks to our own Gary Dayton and Bryston's James Tanner, we managed to exceed the terrific CS3.7 demos from past shows. Some of the best ears in our industry were astounded at the imaging and detail in the Thiel system and a few called it the best sound they heard at CES. Of course having WireWorld cables and all Bryston and Torus electronics perfectly dialed in with our CS3.7s and SmartSub SS2s didn't hurt either.

THIEL also showed static versions of the new DewPoint Outdoor Loudspeaker and USS SmartSub® which we hope to begin shipping in Q2. Perhaps the most enthusiastic comments were directed toward a static display of THIEL's new SCS4T, a floor standing version of our hot SCS4 bookshelf. Look for this new speaker by the summer with demoing versions planned for Demo Alley at EHX in Orlando, March 25-27.

Thursday evening was a special night for the folks at THIEL as we honored the late Jim Thiel with a reception attended by over 150 guests. Featured speakers included long time THIEL dealer Simon Zreczny of Audio Consultants, our friend and PR guru Micah Sheveloff of WircMedia, Stefan Blanc of Audio Focus, THIEL distributor in
France, THIEL employees Lana Ruth, Ken Dawkins, and Dawn Cloyd, and Larry Archibald, former publisher of Stereophile. Kathy Gornik provided both a moving tribute to Jim and a glimpse into THIEL's strong future going forward.

With attendance actually up over last year and a cautiously positive vibe from the dealers, distributors and press we met with, CES was a significant success for THIEL as we position ourselves for a big rebound in 2010 and beyond.
