FI Mono 2A3's I'm telling you. I don't see how Cary can even compete. I mean Cary has distribution, marketing, manufacturing, and dealer mark-up added to their price. FI....well Don Garber needs to pay himself and for those lil' ads he places in a few publications.In my opinion the Cary's are over-hyped and if one were to open em up.....well, let's just say that the FI X probably has much better parts quality and they are offered for under a grand. The Fi Mono 2A3's are huge and have some extreme parts. I bet if Cary offered the same product they would have to charge you 2 to 3 times Fi $2995 asking price.
Don't get me wrong the Cary's can be enjoyable but IMHO one can do better at a third of the price. For the same one could do "wonders".
