.... and no one has mentioned Gershman. GAP 520X's running on the big Blue Circle monos, Classe Omegas or the wonderful Sim W5 amp/preamp combo. True Class A stuff. And then there's Bryston and their 20 year warranty -- safest used purchase you can make, if SS is your kind of sound. And the SF factory is just a short drive down the highway, if you prefer your hifi bottled.
As a few of you may know, Canada made available government funded acoustic chambers for all indigenous speaker designers, which really made a difference in getting our hi and mid fi industries going in the 70's - 80's and 90's. I'll never forget those Dayton Wright electrostats of the 70's - forerunners to today's Quad and ML.
I would however still look south of the border for my wire and PC's, as Gutwire (which is 3 blocks from my house!) is about all we got to hook things together. Still, I could assemble a nice system and never leave Ontario. --Lorne
