Beware the audio guru
teo_audio,I am admittedly opening a can of worms that I may not actually have time to follow up on (due to work), but just some comments:teo_audio wrote: Objectivity is a state of mind in a purely subjective reality. Everything in this place runs ... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
