Coincident Speaker Technology. Israel is very personable, patient and responds quickly to inquiries. He has gone out of his way to make sure I'm MORE than satisfied with the dealings I've had with him since my first purchase in Sept/03. To boot he makes fantastic products for a fair price. I have purchased all my Coincident products directly thru him as apposed to buying them used. This is saying alot seen as how I try to buy used whenever possible.

I'm very fickle in general.

I suppose I've been with Ohm and Linn the longest. Ohm for service, sound and value and Linn for sound and quality/longevity.

I'm new to Audio Research but I could see becoming a minion there for quality and sound.

I'm still a mark for Tandberg and Carver though defunct in that they delivered me a lot of good sound and good value for many years.

I have a local dealer in the Baltimore/DC area that I have been loyal to for many years in that the stuff he sells always sounds good and he tries to deliver value as well.

I like the sound and quality of Dynaudio as well.
