Too bad the big audio names seem to come into and out of fashion
with the whims of reviewers, the budgets of advertisement, or the
addition
of, "gasp", a consumer retail outlet.


Please note that second-hand quality audio gear seems to hold up its
value pretty well.

A used Krell, Mark Levinson, Rowland, Audio Research, yes even Quad or
Radford can't be had for a bargain.

Very true... I listened long and hard at Quad 988s at 6K vs used ESL-63s
at less than a third of that. Frankly, the difference wasn't very
noticeable especially with a sub. The 63's was an easy choice.

Ooops.... I missed the can't. I thought all of my used purchases were a
bargain
compared to the new price.. except maybe that Arcam .
