| Has anyone ever heard these speakers by Volti Audio? I have heard the Vittoras at audio shows several times, with and without subwoofers, and always came away favorably impressed. The woodwork to my eyes seems excellent, as noted above. I'm a horn person. I seriously considered the Vittoras mysel... | |

| Is there a market for the Dennis Had/ Cray Audio Tuned Pipe design Speakers I don 't mean to be flippant, but my sense is that there is always a market for used audio equipment at the "right" price.

| Wavac LCR-X2...is it worth $10k ? I used to own the Wavac LCR-X2, which I had bought as a demo at 50% off some 4 or 5 years ago. I liked it a lot but replaced it with a Concert Fidelity phono as it matches the rest of my CF electronics. I thought the CF was "faster" and more dyn... | |
