I would discard the first part of your post. It is it truly irrelevant what Germans, French, Japanese or Brits were buying and what particular brand and in what time they consider as “fashionable”. It is know that Ebay or Akibahara popularity has...

I completely agree that in a home setting, even if you love "Drum & Bass" and Hip-Hop, you will never ever use anywhere near 2" of cone excursion.

It is nice to see you around, Jim.
