beryllium vs diamond

Kost your Lotus point completely misses the point, a performance based product will only sound as good as what you use with it and how it is setup.  It is that simple.

Please answer the question:  A 660 hp Ferrari engine can push any car right? What if we dropped this engine in a Toyota Camry do you think this abomination would perform like a Ferrari?

Would the Ferrari engined Toyota Camry handle like, brake like, have the drive  feel of the Ferrari? 

The answer is of course No, a Ferrari performs like a Ferrari because the engine, drive train, brakes, and handling components are matched together working together in unison. 

Take any part away and substitute any lesser part and watch the performance fall apart.

Lets make an audio analogy, $150,000.00 pair of speakers being driven by a $300 Yamaha receiver on zip cord,playing over Blu Tooth, do you think the $150,000.00 pair of speakers is going to sound good or horrific?

We suppose you think that electronics don't impact the sound of a system, and cables are bunk and the only thing that matters is the speaker correct?

Sure only the speakers matter lets listen to the above listed $150,000.00 speakers on the Receiver playing Blu tooth, and lets talk.

Kost, it is not the point, if you can’t understand that a Ferrari engine transplanted into a family sedan won’t make a family sedan into a race car.

A race car is a race car, the same way that a Ferrari makes a poor cross country vehicle for conveying a family.

A high performance loudspeaker is not going to sound good on really cheapie electronics, as the really cheapie electronics are adding distortions to the speakers as well as not really being able to control the loudseakers.

The SAE amplifier that you mentioned if it is the new SAE amplifier was lambasted by Stereophile for sounding too bright.

We are not making any false arguement please go to a good shop or one that you might have a friend in, and ask them to hook up your amplifier with your cables and sources and listen to the speakers before and after and you will see that electronics absolutely make or break a system.

A good salesman would never argue back and forth on a public forum. Check out this thread, a true class act, this one.

Rbach, we all have different opinions, what is interesting is that you are more interested in harassing us, then adding anything to a discussion.

We are also willing to bet we test a lot more equipment than you do. 

Sorry for having an opinion, if you read the initial posts we said that that gentlemans system would probably sound good if he was using a tube preamp and a warm dac guess what he was.

The defination of a class act is not having a releavant opinion and just harassing people who do.
