Shindo Labs F2a Single ($9,500) produced 10 watts per channel with a Seimen's F2a tube. This tube is Germany's answer to the Western Electric 300B many years ago. It is 100 percent hand wired point-to-point, copper wired and copper output transformers.

Acoustic Zen's Adagio loudspeaker ($3,700/pr) has this spectacular red finish, a wine color they officially call Figured Maple. It has a deep and exquisite look that harks to loudspeakers costing three times the price. Drivers are a pair of 6.5-inch midrange/woofers and a 1.7-inch round ribbon tweeter. Frequency response from 30Hz to 25kHz and presents a 6-ohm load. Please note the picture above does the visual beauty no justice. You must see this in person to fully appreciate it!
