Has price of used 802N's shot up?
You can find them on the net, China announced it was going to reduce the size of its 4 trillion foreign reserve balance sheet. As far as gold and silver being money, that's debatable depending in the country you are in perhaps, although according ... 
Tweeter type and brightness
I think woofer type is more likely to result in brightness than tweeter type, very few of us in the audio hobby can hear above 20KHz anyway which is where the breakup mode is for most tweeters.

That has to be an exaggeration. A garbage truck next to your house won't crack the foundation, and 10 subs doesn't even get close to sound of Waste Management trucks outside your house :P 
Best small speakers?
Dynaudio C1 IIs are amazing, maybe the best under 10k bookshelf speakers. 
Has price of used 802N's shot up?
US Federal Reserve owns 61% of all U.S. Government debt as of 2012, it's probably even higher now that China and Japan publically said they are no longer going to prop up the U.S. Economy. When government prints money to make up for budget shortfa... 
Best small speakers?
@Thuhaile you mean Usher Mini Dancer "DMD" not Diamond. Their driver's breakup mode is at 24KHz unlike a real diamond driver which breaks up at 40KHz. Their "DMD" driver is no more diamond than their "beryllium" driver is made of beryllium. 
Has price of used 802N's shot up?
61% of government bonds are now owned by the Federal Reserve. China and Japan announced they are no longer purchasing US Government debt, so the Fed has become the buyer of last resort. So they just print money to cover government revenue shortfal... 
usher audio usa distributor?
It used to be music matters and they were terrible. Not picking up calls, returning calls, random disconnects in the middle of calls and not respoding to email inquiries. 
Revel Performa 3
The Usher price range is "tuned" to the US market. The BE-718 for examplr is $3000 in the US and $1300 in Taiwan. The dmd driver is also $800 in thr US market but only $199 in Taiwan. In other words Usher has mastered the art of the sighted audiop...

Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
None because the electronics in active speakers will fail in 2 decades or so and the in passive speakers you will have to replace the capacitors within 15 years or so.

It's a big step up from the Performa to Ultima 2 series IMO. 
Dynaudio Confidence Platinum
So they painted the metal faceplates black,and called it the platinum series. I wonder if the pricing is higher as well. LOL 
Usher DMD tweeter upgrade: worth it?
I wonder if Steve Morey (sp?) is going to have a field day. Doesn't look like Usher's DMD drivers are real diamond, probably some kind of various ceramic. It's breakup mode is 24KHz...I mean really? A cheap 1" aluminum tweeter breaks up at 23KHz, ...
