Oppression within the speaker industry and how it can be stopped?

As we all know, speaker companies have been oppressing us audiophiles for a very long time. The question is how it can be stopped? 

The insistence on ''flat as pancake'' response is only one example of this. Some companies offer a bit of a dip in the mids. But as we all know, if we weren't being oppressed we could CHOOSE whatever response we liked. 

The so called linkwitz riley 24db crossover and variations thereof is an evil device which has been going on for a long time in the speaker business. 

Butterworth 12db vilified as dip at crossover. QB3 BB4 ports. constant directivity. The list goes on and on. 

I have even attended speaker demos where I was prohibited from playing my own choice of music cds that I'd brought along. 

The wicked speaker industry must be stopped before its too late. We must demand maximum freedom of choice before THEY bully us into utter submission.

Hmmm, I’ll have to ponder that for a while... You writing skills are getting better K.. How’s that?

Yea you’re right... Oppression though.. I guess I’m lucky, spend 89 days in a 4 ft by 4 ft cage, eatin’ cockroaches in your rice.
I became quite the Yoga Expert in that time..

Speakers... oppression.. hmmm, ain’t workin’ for me K. Let’s be a little more careful, AY.. Some may take offence...

But yea, there is a LOT of overpriced, boxes out there.. AND some really nice ones.. Mine for one (actually 2).

Tune your own box, that's what I use to tell all the girls/boys. :-)

Kmini, and KMAX will be up and running by spring...Be patient..
