Haha, didn't notice the date! Oh well, not the dumbest thing I've done by far... 
Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends?
Jakecanada,Good questions. You can see from the responses that opinions vary as to pricing and value in the market, understandably.From my limited knowledge it does seem that newer designs (last 10-15 years) allow some smaller speakers to produce ... 
Best Country/Rock - Poll
American Flyer is one of my favorites, but it's a little hard to find. I'm pretty sure it was made up of some of the Pure Prairie League guys before they became more well known. 
Top 10 Alt-country bands
I agree with the Byrds and Jayhawks, great bands. I ended up with a good many JL Lewis albums- Jimmy Swaggart's cousin I think, piano playing fool! 
What's going on with the audio market?
I agree with the lack of audio stores. I am 150 miles from a couple, 300 miles from Dallas. But I'm aware that many people test the gear in stores and buy online for a better price. I'm not passing judgement, just stating a fact.No telling what th... 
Negotiating when buying demo and used speakers from a dealer
I agree with the others- I would try to negotiate, tactfully. Especially in the case of a trade in or private seller. I think many sellers will allow for some negotiating room, expecting a little back and forth. However, some don't and get all wou... 
What's going on with the audio market?
I'm 55 and have always had a system. I have actively bought and sold gear for ten years, but slowing down now and enjoying my music more. There seems to be a large number of gear manufacturers fighting for market share. This competition is good fo... 
Silverline Speakers Minuet Supreme Plus - Sonatina MKIV
laurandy3-I saw your post on a Silverline thread I started some time ago. Thanks for your response. Crazy thing is, if I were explaining to someone what I wanted in a speaker, I'm not sure I could nail the Minuets. They are simply satisfying to me... 
Silverline Speakers Minuet Supreme Plus - Sonatina MKIV
I have a pair of (original) Minuets in my bedroom system, too. They are amazing little speakers in my opinion. In my setup, they sound great at moderate volume and I listen to them for hours with no fatigue. Good to see other Silverline fans on he...

SVS or Velodyne
I have a SVS sound cylinder in my home theater setup. I like it for music and movies, but never tried it in my 2 channel system. Rythmik seems to be very well thought of around here, fwiw. 
Pls share your experience with Zu Soul or Zu in general
I had a pair of Zu Druid IV for several months. I bought them second hand from a guy that had them a couple of yearsNever could get them to sound good in my room. They have a very loyal following but in my case weren't for me. I only used SS amps,...

Obscure bands
Arcam, glad you liked it! I have the lp of 'plug me into something'. I passed on an imported CD due to price and kick myself for it. Henry Gross has a website- you may drop him a line. He has other albums but 'plug me in' is my favorite. Good soun...
