| Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned?? Yes. I nearly replaced the Focal Micro Utopia Bes’ that I was forced to sell 5 years ago when I was unemployed for 6 months. But I purchased a pair of JM Reynaud Bliss Silvers instead because they were a better all-round speaker at less than half ... | |

You'll be amazed at the improvement in your auditory prowess...Vibrapods ar... | |

The album jackets were covered with a 3 mil plastic resealable sleeve as soon as they came out of the shrinkwrap. 95% of the vinyl is in NM cond... | |
