Alright Natalie, I agreee with you to a point, as I have owned only Canadian speakers (paradigms and now Verity's) but you must look to your cold weather USA brethren in Minnesota to find one of the worlds greatest High End meccas. The Minneapolis area is home to Audio Research, Magnepan, Bel Canto, NBS, Atmasphere, and Van Alstine in a 20 mile square radius! Must be the cold weather.
