Thank you for purchasing our 3rd Avenue Collection loudspeakers. Only the most
discerning listeners choose THIEL, and you’re going to love the vibrant sounds they
bring into your home.
THIEL stands for sound above all. Our mission is to conceive and build the world’s fin-
est loudspeakers—ones with the most perfect reproduction of sound possible. We’re
proud this series represents who we are as a company.
The THIEL in-house engineering team painstakingly designed and engineered these
ultimate performance loudspeakers to bring you the very best home entertainment
sound, just as the artists intended it to be experienced. THIEL speakers reproduce
sound in such a lifelike, realistic way that they create an emotional and sensory bond
between you and the artists.
Whatever its form, entertainment is the heartbeat of THIEL. We cannot live without
movies, music, live performances. That’s one of the main reasons we moved to Music
City—to be immersed in the very creativity and sound that for us and for you make life
worth living.
The 3rd Avenue Collection reveals our passion. In all we do, THIEL strives to meet
and exceed our customers’ audio desires and high expectations. That’s our commit-
ment to you.
What makes the 3rd Avenue Collection so special?
The 3rd Avenue Collection loudspeakers demonstrate THIEL’s flair for design and our
meticulous attention to the execution of each design. This series provides you with
a range of options to create either a fantastic two-channel or surround sound home
entertainment system. Developing this full range of speakers for surround sound is a
first for THIEL.
Our holistic design goal is for all THIEL products to have high dynamic capability,
which means they accurately deliver the lowest and highest frequencies—plus
everything in between—at high sound pressure levels. THIEL speakers accurately
reproduce not only barely audible sounds like whispers, but also very loud sounds like
explosions. Our component (driver) design and engineering are key to achieving that
wide-spectrum performance.
In terms of the acoustic components, THIEL’s engineering team:
• Designed a multi-order crossover that smoothly and expertly directs your
amplifier’s signals to the woofer, mid bass, midrange, and tweeter.
• Engineered proprietary mid bass, midranges, and woofers—designing optimal
components and using the best possible materials for each speaker in the series.
As a result, you hear cleanly reproduced, complex bass and midrange frequencies …
the ones that make you want to groove.
• Customized a titanium dome tweeter that deftly handles all of the high frequencies …
the ones that make movie soundtracks and music shimmer.
• Optimized back ports to limit interference with the recorded sound.
The speakers’ exterior emphasizes sleek, curved lines. In re-imagining the cabinets of
the 3rd Avenue Collection, the THIEL engineering team used large-radius curves on
either side of the baffle to reduce the bending of high-frequency sound waves around
the speaker baffles. In tech speak that means fewer diffractions. And we built in ex-
treme cabinet rigidity to eliminate audible resonances. The result for you is pure, clear,
lifelike sound filling your entertainment room.
The THIEL secret is in blending all of the design elements into a consummate execution.
Your new speakers will crisply reproduce the sounds as they were recorded—shifting
quickly and smoothly from the highest to the lowest frequencies, keeping all details
clear, and banishing audible distortion. All of which means you’ll be totally immersed in
the action and drama of movie soundtracks or performances, and riveted by the quiet
and complex musical passages of your favorite artists.
