Loved my old Kan IIs, like my current Tukans a lot. But that's about  as far as I drink the Koolaid. 
The High End for Under a Grand?

There should be a "Rant" category...
A seller here posted his  price. I asked if he could do a percentage better. He calculated that my lower price was still beneficial vs waiting or not selling. I like to think we both won. 
The Absolute Sound vs Stereophile
.. And whatever happened to Sensible $ound? I enjoyed that mag.
