d2girls. Boy you got us wrong, We never belittled anyones choices, nor did we ever talk down to anyone.
The problem here is how if you characterize certain products in someway some of those people are going to go insane.
Yes D2girls, most planers don’t kick and certain famous $2,700 speakers beloved here can be considered a bit soft on the top end.
If you actually read our posts we complimented that $2,700 speaker for being an excellent value if you love that speakers particular strengths vs weaknesses.
Our Elac speakers have a lot of flaws they also do a lot of things right when driven by complimentary electronics.
You have to understand that in 30+ years we have sold and listened to most of the loudspeakers on the market and that includes the brands we sell as well as the brands we don’t.
If you read our advice to another gentleman looking for speakers in the $8-10k range for use in a small room, we mentioned the speakers we sell plus a whole bunch we don’t.
Maybe you should re read what we write before you accuse us of what you did. we are very objective. We do have preferences as all dealers and people do, if you notice we don’t sell or recommend planers, after having owned many of them.
We like dynamic loudspeakers which tend to use high tech materials, such as ribbon tweeters, Heils, Beryillium, we do have soft dome/paper coned speakers and even have one pair of wideband full range driver with an Isobarik system.
Our philosphy is that there is not one right speaker or design, if we didn’t truly belive that we would not have so many lines of loudspeakers on the floor.
