There are almost endless options in boutique producers globally to choose from.
1. Klaus is in the USA and actually picks up his phone.
2. He services everything
3. Value is great. Just go from the 500k rooms at the show to his room and you will know.
4. Owned Karthagos and kismets as well as kismet speakers which I will never sell.
5. Sound is an individual judgement, but price/value/American made. Not easy to beat.
