| Looking for opinions on Tannoy Prestige line. I am in this stupid "Audio" and "Sound" for the last 35 years. Almost all (no absolute) the so-called "Audiophile" and especially those ranked as number one in "Stereophile (their job is to sell more advertisement and bring money to their advertis... | |

| How much does your system retail for? Money should be no object if perusing the real, live music here.I have listened to systems costing well over $300,000 and it just doesn't last for more than 30 minutes.My ears would bleed.The ego of the owner would be sky-high because he, definite... | |
