Why not horns?

Macrojack, perhaps you should consider Newton's third law: basically, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If you tempered your posts in such a manner as to edit your biases e.g."...single distortionless driver.." "...seems like a no brainer...""..."...exposes the high end for the rip off it is..." etc.,etc., from appearing as absolutes, perhaps the discussion would appear less like a personal crusade and more like an intellectual forum. I'm not suggesting that you shouldn't voice your subjective opinions, but when you do so, I suggest you frame them as such. I think you'd find that even the subjective discussion would be more objective, and you might feel less personally invested this discussion.

Unsound - The "distortionless driver" comment in my opening is hyperbole and you are not the first to call me on it. "seems like a no brainer" could be chastised as sounding kinda "valley girl" but it clearly stands as nothing more than opinion.
As for the "rip off" comment, I cannot apologize. I think that the pricing of many of the so called statement products are scandalous and most other stuff is unjustifiably priced.
Watt/Puppy 8 speakers are priced about the same as a loaded Camry. Let's not take a detour on that point, however. The only reason I mentioned it is because I think we can find better bang for our buck outside of the reviewer's boutique.

macro,

If I were you, I would temper my unwavering faith and passion with some more objectivity up front.

Objectivity will help get the facts people need to make decisions out on the table. Unwavering faith and passion alone might be persuasive to some, but the reality may come as a shock later.

Just my opinion....

Macrojack, there you go again. You use a small sample example to decry an entire industry. I don't suppose you'd say that for example the Vandersteen 2's are a rip off? Temperance my man. Ironically enough, part of my objection to horns are what I perceive to be their total poor cost to performance ratio.

Dunning-Kruger Effect seems many are suffering from this. You know who you are.
