| Phono preamp worth it with MM cartridges? You need a phono stage to play a record. Don't understand the question. | |

| Speakers which always sound good I just have to say, it is true, I have yet to see a house that has a good room for a stereo. It is frustrating. But then again audiophiles are probably in the 1% category. | |

Does a person have to manage a creamery to appreciate premium ice cream? To be able to design and build speakers is a talent. Some who do are not even audiophiles. Going by your logic one w... | |
| Speakers that are a great value! The price we would pay for drivers, crossovers, etc is NOT the same price a manufacturer pays. They get high volume (pun) discount deals. To be profitable a direct sales business would have to have a 200% markup to stay in business. A company wit... | |
