I thought "he" was singular.

The new Modwright LS99 is in your price range. Balanced. I haven’t heard it, but have enjoyed the Ambrose  One for about 6 years.  
Selling here on Audiogon
Dealers and brokers monopolizing the market, and jacking up the price.  
Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?
Dealer joins audio forum.  Pushes product.  Tells users he’s right, and they are wrong.  Gets push-back.  Gets butt-hurt.  Starts thread bitching about this situation. i have I missed anything?

Picking Speakers 20k-30k
Thanks @ronboco  I was hoping to replace my 11 year Wilson Benesch Vectors with something American (thus saving on extra cost to import) in the $20-30k range, but the prices are rising so fast that something in that price range is a side step.

@ronboco Let me know what you find out.  At $26.5k they are a potential upgrade for me, but at $38k they are not.  Here's more evidence of the higher price. From https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/the-2023-axpona-show-jonathan-valin-on-spe...

@ronboco see my link to my local Rockport dealer above.  Atria II $38k, Avoir II $47k.  My understanding is that the prices went up in 2021.
