Gshep & Hew, Thanks for those two. Suffice it to say I have been frequenting the wrong fish tank. BTW, Hew very true, very true regarding the poker table. I wish there was a card game where the peddlers where stopped at the door. I don't under...

What makes an expensive speaker expensive
I would have to say the single biggest determinant of speaker price is price the market will pay which maximizes the rate of return on the capital of the speakers builder.  If it is not, it should be. This does not necessarily have any correlation... 
What's going on with the audio market?
I don’t have the measured data to support this view other than being a 55/40 who has watched the industry, but it seams to me the amount of gear available today is broader and deeper than at any time in my 40 years. Much has been driven by the gro...
