Johnny, with all due respect, although I can understand why you think these Tenor owners "align" themselves with this certain dealer, I can ASSURE you that I know everyone but one of the people who have the new Tenor hybrids to date and NONE of them would shell out that kind of money to "align" themselves with anyone unless they had a financial interest in that company (which none of us do). The reason it looks this way is simple: First Mike LaVigne is the person we can thank (thanks Mike) for pretty much discovering the synergy bewteen Kharma speakers and Tenor amplifiers.
Then, this dealer happens to be the US Tenor importer and one of only two dealers to carry Kharma speakers in the US (other than Bill Parrish the US Importer for Kharma). So, if you do like the Kharma/Tenor synergy, it is almost impossible NOT to be somehow connected to this dealer at some point.
As for me, I am both a reviewer and owner of the Tenor 300HP hybrids and I can assure you I was the BIGGEST Doubting Thomas when it came to the Tenor hybrids! But no longer - everything Mike said is true AFAIC. I honestly did not think ANYONE could design a hybrid to get the best of both tubes and solid state, but IMHO, Michel VanDen Broecke has done the impossible.
Hearing is believing.
