You must spend a goodly amount of money on one to get good quality. I 
would buy one where you can get a good look at it and hear it perform. I 
would go to a high fidelty store such a Flanner in Milwaukee (if they 
still exist). The survive only in major cities. Buying such a thing on 
the Internet is financial bingo IMHO unless you know exactly what you want..
