I think that's wonderful, Robert. Your system has evolved into something very special.

No, that would be with Saul Robbins in Wayne. Unless, for example, you don't consider speakers like the original KLH electrostatics, tuners such as the legendary Marantz 10B, tube amplifiers from Marantz and McIntosh, turntables including the original Empire 598 Troubador (I could go on but I think you get the point) high end.

You were there too late, my friend. I'm talking about the late 50's-'60's era. The store was located on Lancaster Avenue between North/South Wayne Avenues and South Bellevue Avenue.

Perhaps I should have used the word renaissance instead.

HiFi House left the business you describe decades ago. It has only been rediscovered in the past few years.

Use whatever word you like, Bill. "Wrong" might be the most appropriate. Nothing wrong with being wrong, of course. We all make mistakes. Some just have a more difficult time admitting it.

Serge,
Could you kindly comment about differences between Tannoys vs. Sasha vs. Sophia3?
Is this the same room you have had Guarneri?
