WILL THE NEW 60,000 AVALON ISIS BE THE BEST YET?

WILL THE NEW 60,000 AVALON ISIS BE THE BEST YET? As far as I can figure the driver cost alone in the Isis is about 13000.00 not counting the crossover and the wiring.Compare that to the driver cost in a wilson max about 2000.00 to 3000.00 depending on the model they choose. | |
