Although you aren't aware of this and likely never will be, but you have no idea what you are talking about. None. Focal, for example, designs and manufactures PRO AUDIO speakers and I actually own a pair of the CMS 50 and the CMS sub. You can google the CMS 50 to see for yourself, but the reputation is exceedingly high. Now then, the speakers in my hi-end system are Focal's Diablo Utopias. They designed and manufactured those also. There is NO COMPARISON between them. I wouldn't even think to put them in the same book, much less the same chapter or paragraph. If you haven't heard REAL hi-end speakers, properly staged and driven by legit electronics all throughout the chain, then you seriously have no clue about what you are missing. None. You couldn't even dream it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jh901's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18175 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98249 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
