The ancient kingdom of Thrace located in the south-eastern Balkans encompassing modern-day south-eastern Bulgaria, north-eastern Greece and Turkey's European part. The Balkan Mountains bounded it to the north, the Aegean Sea to the south and the Black Sea and Sea of Marmara to the east. Shall we guess where Thrax Audio are from? Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. Our correspondent at the Italian audio embassy was all over it. "Dear Boyan Donchev, over the last two years I have been collaborating with Srajan at 6moons. I'm a long-time admirer of Thrax Audio electronics from several national and international audio shows and I always left your rooms with strong emotions. I'd be especially interested in reviewing your Dionysos/Heros Mk2 combo as over the last year I've focused on amplifiers." "Dear Simone, we are thrilled to accept your proposal! We don't have Heros on hand but will let you know once they are nearly ready to ship." Thrax are coming to Florence. Will they make Simone an offer he cannot refuse? Leave the gun. Bring the baklava.
