Just saw the Absolute Sounds 50 Greatest Bargins in Audio

and agree with so many of their choices.  Many of the top manufacturer's that we are used to seeing.  I am glad they added some of the portable stuff as I am on the go at time and need my music wherever I am.  I use the AQ Dragonfly Red for quick out and about's.  The have the AK 70 DAP and I use the Ak 380cu with amp.  I wish they had IEM's, but most 2 channel reviewers use headphones and not IEMs....

I was pleased to see the Vandersteen Treo CT's. I had the regular ones and now own the Quatro's. I love them as anyone who has seen my posts knows.  I've been blessed to be able to hear so many pieces on their list and I think they've done a great job with the list.  

Thought it was a fun read.  That is all. :). Happy Thanksgiving all.

and another great commercial from davy and troy.  thanks guys, lmao.

You are correct.  It's just a list and reviews don't mean crap either when ti comes down to it other than for dealers to post links to their products they are selling.  No biggie either way.  it's all good.

Csooner, wow I am shocked, you haven’t commented on the no Vandersteen 1C in the 50's list. We don’t sell Vandy however what you fail to realize in all of our posts if we could sell the 1C we would, and do find them to be an incredible value, which is why I am so surprised that these speakers are not on the list.

I know you love the CT’s I find they have huge compeition in speakers such as the Legacy Signatures or the Golden Ear Ref both which we are fantastic loudspeakers and great values, and by the way we do sell Legacy we don’t sell the Golden Ears.

Seems very odd to me that they recommend the passive GoldenEar Triton Fives for the Mid-Price System...plus $1500-1900 subs??? It would be simpler and more cost effective  (not to mention better sounding IMO) to go with the Triton Three+ ($2500) or Two+ ($3500) with their own integrated subs and eliminate the outboard subwoofers.

Troy, if you read my original post and saw my last line 'Thought it was a fun read.  That is all. :). Happy Thanksgiving all." then you'd realize that it was just a fun little read.  There are tons of great values left off since no mag or online pub can listen to everything.  As you well know there are also politics involved...the list goes on and on.  

Rackon, they may not have reviewed the Three's.
