I like Audio-Technica. You can say it all suave, like in a British accent. Well, it sounds cool to us Yanks, I guess.

Definitely Orpheus, doesn't get any more fitting.

"Orpheus" could have been a top fitting name for any hifi audio component. I think it is actually strange that the name wasn't grabbed before by any high-end speaker, amp, or source manufacturer.

From Wikipedia, the entry for the mythological character Orpheus:

Quote:

By dint of his music and singing, he could charm the wild beasts, coax the trees and rocks into dance, even arrest the course of rivers...

With a sound avenger comic included, how can these things not be totally sweet ?

No love for Ultrasone?

I like it. The 'Ultra' makes it cool, and the 'sone' makes it classy.
