First of all. the Opera speakers you seek I don't have open, and they are hard to get so I'm not inclined to create open stock for no reason...and frankly don't have an inch to spare, nor the time for someone that, based on your earlier posts, bought his last two pair of seakers, some Spendors and some Sonus Faber used on Audiogon.So if your last two speaker purchases were used, and on at least one of those sales you torched some poor dealers afternoon with demos. Here's your posts:

You wanted me to open a pair of speakers plus move in a pair of Vienna Baby Grands and Sonus Faber.Of course maybe now you would buy the Sonus new since you last ones were grey market, and as you stated they would not even sell you replacement parts.
As to you being a previous customer that visits my website frequently....your speaker purchase here was in 1998....so with all the activity you have had here I'm not holding my breath.
By the way...nice way of "not mentioning my name" so you don't drag it through the mud....but DO tell them about all the special show deals I bring back which we are rather famous for and are the only company that has the cash flow and strong backs to do it.
Next time....use this
"I won't mention the Upland California dealers name that has Tube Guy or something similar on his license plates. I also won't mention he imports products and is the #1 dealer for Manley Cary and a bunch of other names, He is 5'8" and bald and has a 9 lb malte-poo named Rocky. But let's leave all that out. It's the priniciple of the thing"
