Your knowledge of the components in the Goldmund Metis Mk 2 appears to be better than mine. If you are able to undercut the company by such a high margin and match their audio quality (although not sure how you are with matching their propriety systems as mentioned in the review) then I think you could well be on to a winner and surely a very comfortable lifestyle even at less than the suggested mark-up you accuse Goldmund of having. Apparently, the Velcro was used purposely for decoupling according to my contact. I look forward to being given the chance to review your competing speakers in the near future.
