You don't have to give up. I see it as SSA is a very tight little community and the members look out for each other. I honestly can say that I have been around only one piece of quality product from eD, that would be JimJ's TC built 12" ED flatcone. The way I have seen eD carry out their business over the years, jump from build house to build house, burn bridges, and make excuses like the shipment is still on the boat or something of that nature, just does not sit well with me. It surpassed Ben a while ago, it is now the small army of people that follow his every word. In the audio industry, the smaller companies such as the ones featured here on SSA, including Mark and I, who work hard to make a good product with a small budget and minimal advertising if any, know that customer service is #1, are the ones who are hurt by the on going track record of eD. Wild claims, big promises and pushy "reps" don't make a good product. Buying the product is a physical representation of support of that company. For example, Jacob who owns Sundown, has sold many amps based on just his actions and customer service alone. Thats all I have to say about it.
