    At least what is being sold is actual gear i.e. speakers and not some excessively overpriced wire. B)

    All the years you have been here, and you still go on about wire..

    Nothing like beating a dead horse, he!! It's been so long you're just smacking bones together just to still make noise about wire...

    So, you'll take on face value, since you've never heard those speakers, that what is being sold is "actual gear", yet rail against audio cables that you've never heard.

    He doesn't think of cables as gear, mainly because of his background in electronics which doesn't permit his brain to accept anything else. Unfortunately, your ears are the best judge not pre conceived notions planted in your brain from formal education.

    Would love to have something like the Fenice but you need everything to fit. Ain't gonna work unless you got the room the gear and the house.
