Salamander Quality

I have the Synergy triple 20. Mine arrived slightly damaged (Fed Ex) due to less than adequate packaging.

Mine too. Not to mention the factory packed the wrong items in a few boxes.

They made it right, but it took about four extra weeks.

Hi, I bought a basic (no options) twin 20 four years ago for $500. I like it, it looks good, and has been very durable. (see pic of my system.) While at the time I though $500 was kind of high, so far I think it has been worth the money.

However I would agree that there is a lot of competition out there.

I have a twin 30 that is now relagated to my bedroom setup
It isn't the end all in isolation, but if you put a few Silent Running Audio VR stands under your cd, amp and pre it will work wonders for your system at reasonable cost

disclosure - i did that then went up to a craz rack with vr platforms - not cheap but a complete transformation of my system musically

I bought my DVDO 40 (somewhere in between the single and double but now discontinued) on Craigslist for half the price. I didn't really think that it was worth $500 but at $250 it is a much better deal. I really like the look though, so for that I would be willing to pay a little more since it is furniture.
