You wouldn’t need so many if you would buy one good unit instead of 10 cheap units.
First- the price of my 12 is way more less than Acoustic revive or even of some others...
Second- i use them modified and cabled with other devices of my own....
Third- i am pretty sure that the effect of a costly one is not stronger than my 12 modified and connected... Anyway even if it is more powerful, i like what i have for a fraction of the price...
Four- How do people know that they will hear the effect if their audio system and room is not enough under controls already and if their noise level is too high? i dont want to advise people to throw their money out....
Five- your argument remind me of the association of the quality of gear with his price.... It is true sometimes but not always.... My system cost peanuts and i dont give a damn about ANY other one at ANY price...It is not the best system at all but it work at his best...It is ok for me....The piano is in my room already with natural timbre then i dont need to throw money....
Six- when you listen to music with a good sound for the first time of your life (my case) you forget upgrading....
My deepest regards to you.....
