Why hasn't America discovered the Fertin sound yet

I just finish listening to a Fertin20EX in an open-baffle driven by a sonic impact-t-amp. It's just fabulous, incredible sound. If you ever have a chance to listen to a Fertin , you would know what I mean. You could listen for hours and hours . It's pure joy. In Europe, they sell a Fertin 20EX in a cabinet for 9500euros, this is approximataly 12,000.00Us if you add shiping and taxes. Here in the Us and Canada , you can get a 20ex for 3000.00Us even a bit less and you would spend 200 to 300.00 for your open-baffle. Get a good cd player and a 30.00 sonic impact and you will listen to music like never before.Imagine with a better amp- tube. It with be out of this world.How is it that people don't know about it. Ok, since a few months , I'm the distributor for North America. I have it coming, not another D... Are there any people , here on Audiogon that have the Fertin. Am I exagerating. The voices are scary real and I could go on and on. Just try it.

Just to anwer your questions Audiokinesis. The price of the Fertin 20EX vary from 764to927 euros each. So you must ad to this transportation, state taxes and duties. So it could be close to 3000.00us. As being a customer or not is not important. In this audio world , the important thing is to exchange information and feeling about our passion. My be I found my tube amp . The RM-245 , I think would be a good start. Thanks for helping me and keep enjoying music as much as I do.

Usblues,there's no hard feelings on my part.But I understand poeple being on their guard about people pushing their products on Audiogon thread. I would't appreciate it also. Before posting this, I had been in contact with Audiogon and I have asked them for the possibility of posting an ad . The answer was that they are thinking of something that would suit my needs, but only in a few weeks. Fertin, what I know of it is a 2or3 persons operation and I'm alone with limited means,so really it's not a matter of making money buy just let the people know that there's a great driver(I think) and they may try it and then we could exchange ideas about the special sound it has. I surely don't want to hurt anybodies feeling here . Go and enjoy music, the best peace maker in the world.

Laurentgilles...I gather that "Fieldcoil" is what they call a driver that has an electromagnet instead of a permanent magnet. These were common about 70 years ago when the electromagnet field coil also served as an inductor in the receiver power supply. What possible advantage would this offer today?

According to what I read, most of the drivers in the Fertin line, including the 20EX, use permanent magnets.
