OP here... the swipes are so unnecessary. I'm literally just doing a personal comparative study using information from the community. No need to direct digs at the price point. While I realize (now) that I opened myself up for it when I put the price point in the post, I am really just trying to get at what compares to the Alexx Vs and Aidas, because I had the privilege of listening to both recently. Price point is one way to measure comparability, and there have been some other very helpful comments doing comparisons from other perspectives. I am grateful and appreciative for all the productive comments and wisdom so far. THANK YOU!
And FYI, I like gear and expanding my audiophile horizons, regardless of whether I can afford any particular product(s) I am looking at. I thought most of us were like that in here. Should be about the learning and enjoying, not the swiping.
