Dagogo just reviewed the Playback. Yikes! Talk about faint praise.

Not that reviews matter. People need to listen with their own ears.

Crna39, Bruce, you are obviously oblivious to the implications! It means that the AMR / EMM / PLAYBACK Designs comparison is not an apples-to-apples comparison but rather an "organic apple" to a "genetically altered apple" comparison. Would you like me to explain further?

Rtn1: I fully agree. Fred Crowder is a friend whose judgment I value, although we sometimes see things a bit differently. That's why personal auditions are so important.

The Reviewer DAGOGO referred to by RTN1 purchased the playback designs after reviewing it.

The act of purchasing the playback designs unit after reviewing it hardly seems like faint praise.

I would say buying it is a rather strong endorsement from a reviewer.

The fact that he found something better for $40,000 more does not discount the quality of the playback designs.

So the fact that you probably have to pay 2.5 times the cost of the playback designs to find a better product is rather strong praise.
