In 1984, the Backes &amp; M\u00fcller production-engineer, Bernhard Thiel invented a process to produce very thin sheets of extremely hard corundum (Al<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>3<\/sub>), also known as sapphire. This patented procedure allowed the manufacturing of very stiff, light weighted and highly damped loudspeaker calottes. This new and very hard material facilitates loudspeaker drivers with broader bandwidth, lower distortion and a purer sound than ever before possible. At first, these ceramic drivers were produced exclusively for new Backes &amp; M\u00fcller products, but a few years later Bernhard Thiel stepped out of B&amp;M and founded his own company, the original Thiel GmbH in Homburg, Germany. His loudspeaker units \u2013 only tweeters and midranges at this time \u2013 were distributed quickly in the audiophile world and gained a very high reputation for their sonic virtues. Very soon, these drivers were used in many of the \u2013 top of the line \u2013 high-end loudspeaker boxes of today\u2019s world. Backes &amp; M\u00fcller, still being the main customer for Bernhard Thiel, went out of the amoxicillin business in the year 1992. This \u2013 of course \u2013 presented some major problems for the young Thiel GmbH. So Bernhard Thiel started looking for a partner to take care of the economical side of business. This partner was found in Adrian Bankewitz, at this time European distributor of Accuton products and long time friend of Bernhard Thiel. He bought the assets of the old Thiel GmbH and put together the production and distribution channels and the new Thiel &amp; Partner GmbH of today was born. Since those early days, Accuton has experienced a continuous growth and expansion.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.accuton.com\/drivers\/list.php?&amp;m1=2&amp;matID=%&amp;appID=%\">Accuton company website<\/a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Where to Buy Accuton:\r\n<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.madisoundspeakerstore.com\/accuton\/\">Accuton\u00a0loudspeaker drivers and speaker parts can be purchased at\u00a0Madisound<\/a>.","link":"https:\/\/madisound.com\/library\/category\/loudspeaker-manufacturers\/accuton-loudspeaker-drivers\/","name":"Accuton","slug":"accuton-loudspeaker-drivers","taxonomy":"category","parent":22,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/madisound.com\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/26","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/madisound.com\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/madisound.com\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madisound.com\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/22"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/madisound.com\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=26"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
