    Re: How Many Of The Brands?

    From the manufacturers forums:

    B&W
    Bryston
    Cary
    Dali
    Dynaudio
    Focal
    Harbeth
    Hegel
    Klipsch
    Martin Logan
    McIntosh
    Naim
    PS Audio
    Sonus Faber
    Wilson Audio

    Outside of the manufacturer forums, I think that list may get real close to the 100 mark... Sigh

    It didn't seem that long when I was typing it! Now that I see it, it's actually embarrassing!

    To think I did leave some brands off like Proceed, Audio Analogue and Pass Labs!

    Not related to Mike or Joe although my proper name is Michael John and I have a brother named Joe

    VPI

    Does this make me a lightweight, or just a buyer of more esoteric brands?
