That's the drawback for speakers. Since they are the final recipient/conveyer of the system, they are b... | |

| Koetsu is officially back in production! Sugano is irreplaceable. They were his designs. Ouija Boards or Medium? Either they only produce to templates laid down by Sugano(ie Materials/dimensions/tolerances/techniques/) or this smacks of someone wearing a mask which they have no claim to.... | |
