A few months ago I decided to buy a new Wadia 861 and patiently waited. Despite what I was told by the sales rep of Wadia about its availability, it never appeared in my local dealer. I was quite annoyed by their slow response to my emails as well. What happens after I spend $8000 and need to ask them some service questions ? Before I part with my hard-earned money I would seriously consider the before and after sales services of any manufacturer. I am happy with both Krell and Levinson, but not Wadia. Furthermore, in today's format war buying a redbook only player may not be a wise investment. If you want to buy a Wadia, have a second thought....
