Andy - from my experience, I see no way that any individual, no matter how brilliant or talented, could execute the process that led to the final Thiel speakers. It's hard for people to imagine the immersion, the dedication, the drive and stamina required and expended over decades of full-time work with the inputs, support and sacrifice of a good team of 50 or so people collaborating with external vendors and thinkers and researchers, all working toward the same goal - to substantiate a particular vision. The 2.4, along with additional dozens of Thiel products, represents an incarnation of that actualized vision, physical evidence of an extremely focused creative process applied to the real world.
From an unattributed plaque in a Dallas art gallery:"Love instilled into solid materials by loving craftsmanship is the only creation of mankind to defeat time."
And all of this in the service of, for the love of music. Isn't life a magnificent journey?
