| How do you judge audio components and speakers? I have an audio buddy who is really into measurements. He claims if it measures well it will sound good.

| Boutique or Big Brand? I think you have many, many options. I think the debate as to whether one should buy brand names or boutique companies is not as important as skipping hype surrounded any brand or model of component and actually listening and purchasing what sound... | |
