I totally agree. Dynaudio makes some of the best monitors available...That is unless you have 25,000 to spend on Magico Minis...or 12,000 to spend on Wilson Duettes (IMO the most fantastic monitors I have ever heard)...I personally thought that the Wilson Duettes almost sounded as good as the WP 7's they also had in the display room. Anyhow, the message is, if you sell something else in your store, you might look there first...B&W's are ok, but there is SO much better out there.
