More expensive = better?
"My speakers are under $1k, staright up, midrange surpasses Wilson's biggest guns, Dali, Sonus Faber, Rockport, none beats my midrange. Under one K bucks" Hyperbole aside, what about the low end and the high end? Sound is only as good as its wea...

@lwin    I see.  
Weakest digital link: DAC - Streamer - Server?
@jssmith      Why are you here?     Anyone that quotes Audio Science Review as Gospel, really does not actually listen to the equipment they pass judgement on. To them, measurements are everything. How can any review of a piece of audio equipme...
