I have had a small loudspeaker business for several years now,and it's helped to earn a little extra money,and is also kind of a hobby,but one thing I have learned, is to appreciate high-end speakers,and have come to respect their high cost.

Those companys such as Wilson Audio who put countless hours into their speakers,are probably worth every penny!!Their finishes are exquisite,to say the least,and the sound is ALL THERE!!

Hats off to the professional loudspeaker maker!!!!

Well to a degree,I believe it is in the Dallas Area,I have seen 3 to 4 different high-end dealers go "belly-up" within the last 15 years. There are a couple of stores left,that I know of.

Are there any CD's, that are considered to be the best reference CD's. I have heard that hell freezes over by the eagles and a couple of michael jackson are very good. Any recommendations please

I am just starting my audio education. There is such huge range of equipment available that I would like to maybe learn a few rules of thumb (if they exist) befor I start demo-ing. I would prefer not to waste my sellers time or my own. I have been researching equipment for a two channel system with a total budget between$5-6,000. It will play in a fairly large room with hard surface floors that is an "L" shape, 9' ceilings with about 14'x25'. Asthetics are somewhat important(married) as is the lack of speaker placement options.

I've read several reviews of these amps and integrated amps and was just wondeering if anyone has actually heard them. Their 2 top models, V8 & V6, are "hyper Class A" (whatever that is have outputs of 250 watt and 150 watt, respectively.
Reportedly they run so cool, for being Class A, that you can put your hand on the heatsinks and leave them there. The speaker terminals look like terminals on a 1950's Tektronix oscilloscope, I once owned. Check these amps out at www.dussun.com. Is anyone familiar with these items from China?
