One little note on audio: the general "audio" domain has undergone a significant change caused by the emergence of several brilliant engineers with business acumen, especially in the last decade. Pass Labs, Krell, Bryston, Meridian, ElectroCompaniet, NAIM, YBA, Audio Research, are brands you have to look into, amongst many. Bring any of these in my home: you're welcome. While i have personally sold dozens of McIntosh stereo systems, the passing on of its founders, Frank McIntosh and Gordon Gowe, is a loss; one brought the business flair, the other the brilliant engineering, with a "class act" mentality. The parallel with LEICA, i hope, would rather relate to outstanding customer support and product development, over and above top level manufacturing care and total quality control. Remember "In Search of Excellence" series books ? Recommended reading; no waste of time... Andre Jean Quintal
