The bulk of the review centers on how the cabinets are made and this may be justified because the cabinets undoubtedly account for 95 percent of the cost of the speaker. Man, I'd hate the thought of accidently dropping one of those beasts on my toes. Ouuch!
I noticed the reviewer offers very little meaningful comment on how the speakers actually sound (maybe 3 paragraphs). About the only recording he referenced is the drum-track on the Burmester test CD. He didn't say anything about how various acoustic instruments were rendered. He spoke mainly in audiophile hyperbole, without referencing it to anything. I wish I could get away with writing reviews like that. It would require much less of my time if I didn't need to describe sonic characteristics in reference to specific recordings and instruments. Then I could devote copious space to aesthetic appeal, construction techniques, technical descriptions, theory, and THD specs.
I suppose if a buyer didn't like the DK's he could always melt them down and go into manufacturing high-performance bike frames. It would be a great start, what, with enough aircraft-grade aluminum to make about 300 frames. With the leftover drivers and crossover he could build a set of DIY speakers that would likely sound decent.
