I remember Audio Visions where I bought my Vandersteen speakers from and my first high end stereo from Audio Research and the Audio / Video Den where I got my Magnepan speakers from along with so much other gear - I think Audio Den is still around- but man visiting shops on days off all started for me when I was 10 years old going to Crazy Eddie and the WIZ. LOL - I eventually went to every single high end store I could get to from Long Island and NYC and then even NJ (I still visit Audio Connection in NJ) ! When the audiobug gets you for the pursuit of great sound- it never leaves you-

My first speakers I bought from Audio Visions were Vandersteen!!! (With Monster Cables!)

Which ones did you get? I still own Vandersteens the 3ASignatures which Richard personally sent to me himself much latter on! and lol Monster- they all used to push upgraded cables - I guess they still do cause they do make some audible changes

Oh, man, that was 35 years ago... I remember I paid about $800 for them, they looked like the Model 1Ci+. That was 1987.

yea it was a while back huh.... I just got the Yulong DA1 and will report as well- I appreciate your review sir

If you liked the CMA12.. theres also the little brother CMA400i which sounds exactly the same but with a bit less voltage output. Also a new CMA15 is out.

Hi, Yes I owned the 400I!

Nice Review! Looking forward to my place in line. Thanks for taking the time to get this review out into the world.
