Hello,
I replied directly via email to some of dlaraman's questions about US sales.
I would concur, BBIBH, with your judgments of the brands mentioned. By the way, Henry Kloss was a brilliant engineer responsible for inventing (among other things) the video projector, acoustic-suspension speakers, and encouraging and implementing (for the first time) Ray Dolby's original Dolby B tape noise reduction system. Unfortunately he passed away a few weeks ago.
Cambridge Soundworks speakers are pleasant but, in my judgment, never great. Alas, Henry K never had the advantage of the National Research Council in Ottawa to further develop his speakers. But Henry's designs always offered good to very good sound for the money ('70s vintage Advent, vintage KLH, vintage AR).
Regards,
