This site will be a happy waste of productivity :

Stumbled upon this off an audiogon ad:

Promptly spent a few hours browsing through many pictures of hitherto unknown speakers and systems. I felt like I was looking at alien species.

I suspect strongly that it is, the dealer, he is hoping for some novice to see these and jump on them like a cat on cheese covered mouse.
