Hi Chris.
Sorry to take so long to respond. I am such a slow typist, I have to phsyc myself to make multi sentance posts. Not to mention working 6 days a week and being carer for my wheelchair confined daughter.
I have purchased Aether Audio (formerly SP Technology) Revelation MR-2 MK IV (website link www.aetheraudio.com).
The desighner/engineer (Bob Smith) is a Paul Weitzel type direct manufacturer that is building (I hope) a product worth many times the purchase price had he been using a retail network.
So far its all a test of faith as the products are a few weeks away from finalization yet.
I have spoken directly to Bob and Paul and owners of both companies products and am very confident in the value of my purchases.
Having said that it is still satisfying to find others that have taken delivery and now feel they have bought their "final" system.
