Hi SuperDave,

I first heard them in NY and then CES. But you're more than welcome to come over for a listen - Mi Casa Es su Casa. It's probably a bit wee shorter drive than NY.

Send me a PM if you get a chance. Thanks.

I agree on that part. Anyhoo, it's all good in the neighborhood, different tastes for different schmastes....you know what I'm sayin'...





Here are some different shoe box options in various leather color options:











Which is your favorite shoe box Dan?

Cyril, these are utterly beautiful, also better looking than the integrated, and probably a purer design technically.
But... it's a bit more dough!

+1. Beauty in the eye of the beholder, etc.
