Tbg, I think luckily there are many in this world who think ethics matter and will speak up when needed. If not for that, we'd all be in an even bigger world of hurt by now. 
Cartridges and old man
I know many cases of children continuing the family business these days. So it definitely happens, especially when said business is profitable and looks to continue to be. A lot of Mom and Pop businesses go under though, that is true. Nobody wants...

"Mapman, I totally disagree with your statement, "The ultimate sound is not the only thing that matters in the world, even in these parts."TBG, you might be right. It seems to be the only thing that matters to you. You would think integrity and et... 
My Triton Ones are being delivered to me tomorrow
My audition of Goldenears was brief but favorable with some material I am familiar with. Aon3s were solid all around and the best value for the price. The treble was the most distinctive feature of those for me. More polite than what I am used to ...

Hard to beat the small size and band for the buck of the KEF ls50s but I think most of the home audio speakers you identify are designed to perform best on stands with some distance from walls. Not to say they might not sound very good still other...

As I stated up front in my first post, the relationship between electricity and magnetism is well documented so I have no doubt changes to one will affect the other. HEnce My interest in the design concept behind the product.The questions will be ... 
Totem Model 1
I'd grab them in a blink of an eye once I knew they were in good working order for that price. 
Pathos and Dynaudio
All good recommendations I am sure.I use BEl Canto ref1000m monoblocks with my Dynaudio Contour 1.3mkII monitors and results are top notch. A class D based integrated like BEl canto or Wyred might come in cheaper than some and still be able to del... 
What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock?
Even distortion produced by design in rock music only sounds right when played back accurately. Adding noise and distortion during playback is always bad, even if present in the source material.No doubt rock music always sounds best played back on...

Tbg,Why do you oppose peoples right to challenge what at least appears to be in question? All DD has to do is say he is not financially affiliated with the maker when asked. HE has decided to not do that repeatedly when asked. If he is, obviously ...

"On the other hand they work!"Its not hard to make wires that work. Even I could do it. Wire hangers work. That's the thing about wires, if it conducts electricity, it works. Making wires worth thousands of dollars, now that's quite the trick in m...
