Thanks, guys. The CES must have been 2000, I did not double check the post. Yes, it is true that Paul Hales has just walked away (probably forced to, and that's disappointing, to say the least). The T5's I listen to are wonderfull, and I'm not afraid to jump. There are alternatives such as the new ML Prodigy. The pictures I viewed of the Alexandria are stupendous...georgeous...beautiful..though there was ONLY 1 unit! 3 of us that bid had to retract 'cause the text was somewhat misleading. If anyone is aware of other PAIRS out there, please post. My feeling is that precious few Alexandrias were made (listed as $20 - 30k U.S.). Certainly, there are none in Canada (I live in Brampton, Ont.). I think that as time passed all the 'T' series will maintain their respectability and measure of listening value. Regards, VColm
Hales Alexandria
One 91) of these Alexandria is currently for sale on another site (guess which one). Does anyone know how many of these were actually produced? A least 1 pair was....described @ the Chicago CES '99 (Martin Colloms). I have T5's and would like to learn more about these ....call them A1's (not Soundlab). Colm
