| Home Entertainment Show in Los Angeles I haven't seen the pricing ad, but the rest of the (excellent) campaign is clearly designed to promote the brand around a few core strengths: design and manufacturing excellence and the quality and dedication of Wilson employees. All of which are ... | |
| WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value Now discussing his advertising. I bet there is a firm involved.Of course he has an ad agency. I'm sure most high end companies doing remotely near his volume of sales have ad agencies. If not, they end up with ineffective, ugly crap. | |
| Anyone hear any of the Morrow amps yet? Wow, I thought these boards were moderated. | |
| Are ICEpower amps really that good? There must be substantial differences among the ICE amps as I have heard the Nuforce amps and was not impressed.Nuforce does not use ICE. | |
| Are ICEpower amps really that good? And Nuforce are neither ICE nor UcD, in case that is not clear to folks.I happen to think Nuforce does sound reasonably warm. Tonally rich is a more prominent characteristic, however.In LA this past weekend, for any room I suspect you could have f... | |

I imagine that few if any high-end companies do any serious market research. Most get their feeback informally from the channel and, of course, from thei... | |
| XLR RCA Adapters in Los Angeles? Music stores are your best bet, or wait for Howard. | |
| Anyone heard Harbeth HL5s with Nuforce? Getting around to this a little late, but I have a friend's Nuforce 8s driving my SHL5's right now and I think I may buy a pair of these amps (or maybe the 9s). The combo seems a bit bright and the bass is light, but the clarity and tonal purity o... | |

| Why so much music for sale? It's because music has fallen out of favor. I mean, it's so last millenium. Those of us in the know are dumping our music collections in favor of the Next Big Thing: | |
| what digital cables for my dac? Sterevox. This is the designer who created the Illuminati digital cable, which was something of an industry standard for many years in the 90's. He's back and with a digital cable for well under $200. This is an easy decision. |
