I just got a whole set of new speakers from a group purchase, and they`re
absolutely amazing. They are from a company called Aurum Cantus.
Aurum Cantus actually supplies to Red Rose Music, Mark Levinson`s company.</p>
<ul>
<li>Check out the Red Rose Rosebud 2 (at $3500 per pair). <b>

<li>Here are the Aurum Cantus ones, named the Leisure 2 (in the flat finish;
they also make the glossy ones). <b>

<li>Anyhow, here`s a few pictures I`ve taken from my own theater:<ul>
<li>Aurum Cantus Leisure 2 Luxury Edition (Improvement on the Leisure 2,
including canted sides to reduce standing waves, a larger driver magnet, and
improved voice coil, along with real wood sides and piano black lacquer
finish. BTW, mine were rosewood):</li>

<li>1 Pair left: Leisure 2 Deluxe (in rosewood) - $575 + shipping</li>

are very very few of these left. Best of luck, may the fastest man win.

<li><b><font color="#CE0E0E">Update:</font> </b>The response has been huge.
Hmm. This may require a second PowerBuy if everyone is serious. Of
course, the benefit to this is the much wider availability of colors and
combinations (and some extra choices like the Music Goddess speakers, which I
purchased as well). The drawback of that is the amount of work involved
and the bit of a wait, since they would be coming from China. Anyhow, I
will let people know if the people setting up the first one are willing to go
through the process again, and start a second PowerBuy. No promises as
of yet, but I`ll keep people informed. BTW, people wanted to know what
the stands looked like. Here they are. <b>

get em!</li>
