Mali,
Dawn has a permanent presence on eBay where she displays her full range as a national distributor for Michigan Maple Block Co. which has been in the same company ownership since 1898. Joe Barbercheck, their Vice President, Sales, said that the blocks sent out from the factory are perfect, not seconds, as the competitive price might suggest.
I bought three 24" x 18" x 3" maple blocks from her last year for $93.99 each and they were all delivered in excellent condition within 8 days. I found doubling the thickness to 3" under each speaker made a substantial improvement to the audible detail. Less sure that doubling thickness under a component is of comparable value. (Notice that the price for that particular block has since risen to $106.92 but it's still very reasonable.)
