Wow! This is interesting. I agree that Music Direct or some other "High End" outlet would make more sense; although Crutchfield probably has a wider distribution. All that I have read says that Thiels need lots of power and I wonder if Crutchfield has an amp company lined up to match with the Thiels. I cannot see some of the receivers that Crutchfield offers being a good match. I wonder if this is for all of the speaker line or if Thiel will build speakers specifically for the catalog?

Personally I have never heard Thiels but I am interested in their HT ceiling speakers. Wes Philips has always given Thiel speakers a good review. I have been waiting for someone to review the new speaker with star patterned driver.
