Where to buy new B W801/802 cheap?
Patrick, I'm not sure what you mean by cheap, the B&W 801's sell for $11,000 U.S. and the 802's sell for $8000 U.S. here in Montreal Canada. These are heavy large speakers, I'd imagine shipping costs would add up quickly. If this price is appe...

Vince, I have a couple of Oracles, how much are these replacement clamps? Jeff 
Quest, Quest-Z, ReQuest, ReQuest II,???
I bought Quest Z's new a long while back, very happy with them. Why would the panels need changing? Do the panels tend to fail and need replacing? 
Stereophile's refusal to review more low
In my mind, the audio rags are obsolete; I get far more pertinent, rapid, and valuable advice from the knowledgable people on this site than I got reading TAS and Stereophile for 10 years. You folks have no economic reason to share your experience...
