Thiel Audio Products Co.

About Thiel Audio Products Co.

Thiel Audio Products Co. was an American manufacturer of high-performance loudspeakers founded in 1977 in Lexington, Kentucky by Jim Thiel, Tom Thiel, and Kathy Gornik. Renowned for their innovations in time, phase, and frequency coherence in loudspeaker design, Thiel speakers became respected worldwide for their audiophile-grade performance and exceptional wood craftsmanship. After Jim Thiel's death in 2009 and a subsequent sale to private equity in 2012, the company underwent several changes and struggled to maintain its legacy, leading to its closure in 2018. Legacy Thiel speakers continue to be serviced through Coherent Source Service.
