| He spent his life building a $1 million stereo. The real cost was unfathomable. @srs148 no he could have stood by his word and got a bit less money. A man is only as good as his word. | |

Look for Canadian built speakers that were designed in the national research council s anecchoic chamber and decide if you want to buy a God awful speaker or not. If you want an awful speaker pick ... | |
| He spent his life building a $1 million stereo. The real cost was unfathomable. Not sure why it is sad that he didn't get all his money back. What do you think people get back who's hobby was drinking and smoking? | |
| Integrateds: Luxman vs. Ayre? @ghdprentice Would the old word for sparkle be bright? There has been a trend in hifi the last number of years in my opinion towards brightness in the equipment. | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results I have a different twist on this subject and I mean no harm by my comments. In the past I listened to the McCormack line lots as I was thinking about upgrading to it. Within there line I personally believe you have there best amp in the .5... |
