We are doing a bit of research for a company named Prism Acoustics
which is considering entering the high-end audio marketplace. The
following questionaire has been developed to assist them in determining
the products which they plan to develop.

In the interest of free information, we will compile all of the results
and post the compilation by April 30'th. In doing so others may be
able to direct their product developments accordingly.

We appreciate your participation.
