"The problem with Darko is the lack of substance. He is an entertainer and he is content by scratching the surface, barely. Some of these are recycled points and some of them are so contrived "nobody said ever" it's painful to read. From his mouth it will reach a larger audience."

It might appear a bit simplistic to us audiophiles, but that's what Darko has to do to appeal to a wide audience.

Nevertheless, most of what he says is valid.

"I suppose that there are those that care.  I'm not one."

Yet you cared enough to post a comment. 

........I personally found it useless and can't get that time back I wasted. The guy is trolling and nothing new that hasn't already been discussed a million times ....did it, done it and moved on.   

He’s incorrect.  You do NOT need room treatments if you set your system properly.  And no. Hes wrong on giant killers. There are MANY out there.  Lets start with the Audiopax Model 88 which when released was priced at under 10k.  Yes you read that right.  Under 10k!!!.  

Darko is an important voice in the hobby. You don't have to agree with his subjective takes on everything, but if you say he's useless with everything then you need to understand why you don't have friends.
