What is the current retail cost of your reference system?
hysteve, My history tracks somewhat the same as yours both in the original and the new. Funny how these things work sometimes. The more interesting thing is comparing where people did and did not allocate money. Few mentioned the room. Everyon...

Solving the "complex music problem"?
