I recently purchased a used pair of Stratos Extreme mono blocks here on Audiogon. I had heard a lot of positive reviews on them so I thought I would give them a try. I was very surprised how good they sounded so much so that after talking to the O...

Who has made a move and did you let movers take Hi-Fi
I moved my gear myself. The year before we were having our new house built and we were selling our existing house. I was pretty sure the new house wouldn't be ready in time so made arrangements with a friend to store my system at his house. I wasn... 
Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!)
Source Technologies. They don't advertise or demonstrate at shows. They just make good under the radar speakers for their customers and other companies. www.sourcespeaker.com 
Which 30K Speakers Would You Give Up For Tekton Double Impacts?
