I don't read hi-fi reviews, but listen carefully to what dealers tell
me. They are not trying to sell me anything, but they do have their
finger on the pulse, and know precisely what products are in demand. The
fact that in Stockholm one can buy a Krell at -30% while there is a
longish waiting list for Conrad Johnson, speaks volumes.

You seem to keep assuming pricing and markup practices indicate quality.
Are you not aware that both makers and dealers will have varying practices
in these matters? All part of the ways they try to compete and promote
sales of their products.



I think the word *demand* (not quality per se) is of the essence here....???
