"German Physics is a legitimate and highly credible manufacturer who is unlikely to market a product that is utterly without merit."
I would not say that. The $1000 speakers are quite good (similar to design to the Walshes in my system but smaller) and have garnered a nice following. If teh GPs sound as good, then that has merit. They are just 20X as expensive, so not much merit there.
Stthomas, I can assure you that I do more than just say what I read. I read to help learn. I do not discredit anyone or anything without basis. I tend to give most the benefit of the doubt that they have some information of value to share until I determine otherwise.
Best to keep an open mind in general!
