| How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system? I haven't yet. But I do enjoy building playlists and listen to them on long flights. | |
| Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them? why not the Buchardts with a sub? | |
| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? as a forever loser - at least in the buying and selling stuff, how about the opposite: bought new LSA speakers for $1400, and sold them at $500 a few months later - nobody wanted them for a penny more. | |

| Fee for home audition "So many of us in this hobby believe every dealer or manufacturer owe us something, which is unfortunate" this is the first time I hear this. I have yet to meet one dealer who pays attention to me like car dealers do or somewhere in between. They... | |
| Fee for home audition @waytoomuchstuff I read your novel, I didn't know it was such a complicated relationship. I thought it's mainly a transaction: "I have the money", "you have the goods" kind of thing. | |
| Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them? that's a new car price territory, I would definitely try before buying |
