Introducing the Sierra !!!

Hi Craig, would that be the 930? -- wasn't there a rare model called the 958?

I was thinking the 968 ... It somewhat "meshed" with the $348 and $568 pricing of the 170/340 SE's.

There was a model 959, which was never DOT certified for sale here.

The 930 Turbo pre-dates all those, it was the "slant nose" model.

959 - that was the one... Of all the models, I think I liked the 930 turbo best (neighbor owned one and his son and I used to take it out for a "spin" when his dad did not hide the keys too well)

Hey, did you ever reveal the surprise entrant in your listening session?

[craigsub]

David, not yet, the manufacturer has not gotten back to me yet about whether they are going to produce and distribute it.

Based on what I was told, it will be (if produced) in the "ultra budget" category ... think under $150 per pair.

They wanted an opinion on it, and I can never resist that. If they do decide to go into production, I will "go public" when they say it is ok. I can say it is not a product from the usual ID companies.

CThere is a bright side - Alimentall may be David's new best salesman ...

Yes, but I think it will take a good while for Joel to beat out Tawuan for the best salesman title though.

Getting to name a speaker is pretty cool ... are you getting a pair ?

Yes, I'm buying some for the HT in addition to the pair I'm getting that will go in the stereo rig. I sure wish I could have bought that Arcam 300 you were selling a few weeks ago.

930 Turbo was an awesome ride, an old boss of mine sent a guy over to Germany to get his.
Back then, I think it was 60K
That thing was pretty awesome, yet I didn't like it that much when HE drove!!
