Prices listed in US$. $10,000 is a lot of money to spend. Or not. It depends on what you get for your 10K. By the same token, what if that 10K is for an audio system? And when I say a system, I mean it has everything you need to listen to music: a pair…

Why else would they be involved in perfectionist audio, if not to fulfill a burning nerdy-esque desire to create an audio product people will hopefully love?

The reason I became so smitten with them is simple: they present music with a greater degree of realism than I’ve heard with any…
