| The THIEL ViewPoint
(R) is now available. The ViewPoint is a 2-way Coherent Source loudspeaker
designed for use with flat panel, wall-mounted video displays. Custom-built
to match the size and color of any flat panel display, the ViewPoint
offers very high-performance sound and a seamless, integrated appearance.
The Leader in Style and Performance
"I am inspired to abandon my career, buy some ViewPoints and
a plasma TV, retire to the sticks, and watch DVDs all day,"
says Brent Butterwworth in his Home Entertainment & Design review
of the Viewpoints. "Movie soundtracks and music videos alike
reveal new subtlety and emotion.
"Most high-end audio designers come grudgingly into the world
of custom-installed audiovisual systems," says Brent. "...Not
Jim Thiel. He embraced the custom-installation trend years ago,
creating unique speakers that deliver unbelievable performance even
though they mount in the wall or on a ceiling."
The ViewPoint’s combination of coaxial/coplanar driver mounting
and 90 degree radiation pattern enables the sound to cover the room
far more completely than normal, more directional surface-mount
or in-wall speakers. By utilizing the patent-pending combination
of mounting the woofer very close and angled to the wall surface,
the ViewPoint eliminates the wall-reflection cancellation that mars
the sonic performance of virtually every other surface-mounted speaker,
therefore providing a greater degree of tonal fidelity, accuracy,
and more natural spaciousness.
