Well said. It's not so much that companies will take liberties with the truth in advertising or that there are cheerleaders willing to benefit from the industry. Rather the lack of critical thinking is of greater concern... Having said that, who knows, maybe we're just jaded and battle weary from the few "extremist subjective audiophiles" who also tend to be very vocal on forums... and the reality is that Meridian already realizes the gig's up when it comes to actually achieving significant penetration with this scheme.
