The most important in audio is a state of realization and obtaining this state is a matter of time I am afraid. Let pretend that tomorrow I will build/buy some kind of speaker that would do the perfect ULF channel ...

I care less about Bret and his business, in fact I have no idea who is he. Since he use audio as business then what distinct him from any other audio whore. A purpose of any business is supply demands and capitalize on the frustrations, investin...
