@Al ears Oberon 5s are $1,300 USD where I'm located - looks like that's significantly more than in the UK / Europe, right?

@Gray @Al ears interesting you mentions Dalis - I heard some not too long ago and remember distinctly liking them. Unfortunately I can't remember the model, but here in the US I can get some of their older models on deep discounts. Specifically the Zensor 5 and Zensor 7, as well as the Opticon...
