What happened to Berkeley Audio Design
ErikI applaud you for receiving the feedback in such an open a gracious manner. This thread could have easily devolved into a mean one. Thanks everyone for responding - I have been interested in BAD Reference but was holding off to see what happen...

$16K new/used speaker question?
For that price you could get into a pair of used Von Schweikert Anniversary MK 2 speakers. Mine sold quickly at about that price. I owned them for years and they are really exceptional. I left only to upgrade to the $60,000 Von Schweikert VR 55 Ak...
