How does this make sense, any sense? Any sense at all??

audioman58...I can hear your third grade English teacher crying....

The trouble with stereo equipment reviews is that they are not blind reviews. The reviewer knows the brand and price before they sit down to listen. I would like to see a blind review from one of the Stereophile reviewers of several amps, speakers and DACs. I would think you would see a real jump in the quality ratings of some of the lower priced audio gear, especially speakers.

Yeah, right, like he’s really going to be impressed by the brand or the price. 

Dear oh dear,
@kenjit , you have proven that you have no knowledge about to compare real audiophile or higher or lower speakers.
You state that $250k speakers or $50k or $5k speakers are relatively equivalent in terms of quality, sound and the ability for you to bag everything in between.
I am fortunately one who owns the stated high end speakers and I find nothing wrong with these compared to my past owned High-mid, speakers, mid range, and lower range.
I find your claims regarding your speaker claims tiresome and intellectually miserable.
I have read your pitiful posts regarding speakers, a small selection, apparently all badly tuned for the user. I really would suggest that once the CONV19 pandemic has died, you go for a sabbatical for 12 months, and treat yourself to a trip listening to the best, medium, and small speakers, selected by a small knit knowledgeable audiophiles that can explain the nuances of speaker engineering, philosophies, audio engineers, cabinet engineers, audio technicians (different to engineers), production engineers, musicians, signal engineers being able to reliably convert music signals (analog - dig - analog) where required and accurately.

There are a core team of 12 developing the Kyron speaker systems I own (the Gaia). From professional classical musicians to the best musicians putting 1000’s of
hours ensuring that the best music is
played and reproduced via the engineered system. As an engineer myself (admittedly off field) I appreciated the work and design that goes into each pair (Gaia’s (6pr/yr)

@Kenjit, you really need to see the world that engineers see as speakers. Understand the process, the science, the engineering and the audio science/engineering, before you return to this forum criticising all before you add nothing to constructively to the conversation.
Go and learn something solid and then teach us what you have learnt.

One person taught me the principles of
speakers, John Dunlavy (Texas, USA) when he was “trading out of Fyshwick, ACT, Australia. A brilliant designer that you will have hated 😡.

Get our of your hole and learn something outside of you small head.

Anybody that buys a Sasha for $38,000 without falling in love with it first deservers to be parted from their money!   I doubt that the KEF sounds anything like the Sasha.  Each has it's own list of pluses and minuses... but each one represents the best that can be had AT THAT PRICE RANGE.   For me..... I'd never spend $38k on something that wasn't absolutely full range.  But if 38k is no big deal to you, and you have a small room, then it might be the perfect choice.   It's all very simple....  Why are people confused?
