I'm AudioAl'sArbiterForPISHANTO.
Completely agree.
For me, it's all about SPPV, and that's where quality vintage hi-fi has the edge on its modern counterparts - even more so when the former is judiciously modified with the best modern components, thus getting the best of both worlds
Take something that's intrinsically well-engineered and just allow it be the best that it can. That's my mantra, and when done well, it's an approach that's difficult to beat.

That's cool.
Fairly sure the ad's for two speakers but agree it's not 100 percent clear.
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > Troels Gravesen Faital 3WC-15.

I agree it is ambiguous - the title says "speaker" (singular), whereas the images show two or three speakers. The close ups appear to be of one speaker only.
Can't imagine why anyone would want a single speaker.
