Schubert,In that case, since my own personal experience with racks is that spending $1,500 - $2,000 makes a very audible and worthwhile difference, I will have to respectfully disagree with you on this one. 
What time do you wear?
Schubert,Yes, they are both unecessary luxuries which cost money, but that is not how you framed the comparison in your original comment.

Schubert,If a 2% improvement was a quantifiable subjective improvement over a rack that cost let's say $250.00, then I can see someone thinking that it it doesn't represent good value. The question is of course, where are you getting the 2% figure...

Subwoofer: should we even use them at all?
Bol1972,Regarding the way a speaker of any type presents music, I don't feel that imaging, which mine do well (depth much less so) is not the source of perceived "intimacy". Spectral balance and tonal density are more impotant in that regard to me. 
Subwoofer: should we even use them at all?
"Horn loudspeakers are not able to give a physical inimate image. Even when people would gave me 100 dollar each day I would not listen to this in my house."Bol1972,I respect your experience and believe that you have achieved good system results t...
