If I like sound of Ayre Integrated I would Like...

Dkzzz,
Just out of curiosity, are you trying to be a new "Romy the Cat". Your level of obnoxiousness is right up there with Romy. Except Romy is quite knowledgeable and intelligent.

I almost didn't catch your last sentence, Romy is both knowledgeable and can be entertaining.

I miss Romy around here. Luckily I can get my fill over on his site.

If I understand the "argument," there are so many brands and so many models competing in the marketplace that the result is excessively high prices. Wouldn't it be nice if the market had only one beneficent monopolist who would deliver the Ayre sound at 40% of the price Ayre charges?

You got it.

What we really need here is another monopoly like AT&T had on telephone service years ago.

One integrated amplifier for everbody and every application. That would bring the prices down.

Ah, the good old days.
