You might want to be aware of facts before jumping on the keyboard to spread nonsense.  Clearly you have no idea what you are talking about.  Danny does more critical listening in a proper musical system and proper room than the rest of us individually in our lifetimes.

Fixing speakers sent to him is a small part of the overall business.  More importantly, he revealed the emperor (mass market speaker brands) has no clothes. 

We live in a clickbait era, so these videos get him a large audience plus a ready market to buy his stuff.

Yup. There are quite a few of these clickbait audio "experts." A handful have carved out a little niche for themselves.

Wilson speakers utilize some wonderful ideas and the execution is often very good. However, I think a case can be made they dont sound nearly as good as they could. Now that they abandoned that awful tweeter they sound better. The problems with Wilson speakers could be considered bad engineering and design.

Once again this thread veers from Wilson to if you are a Danny fan or not. 

The GR dude does come across as kinda dishonest in those videos trashing speakers, honestly.

At the same time, it looks like he’s legit, and some of his speakers are well-regarded.

So maybe he’s not doing himself any favors with the YouTube shtick. Upgrade kits can’t be such a big part of his business anyway.

Which of the following is truer?

1. Negativity is bad for sales

2. Any attentoin is good attention
