RE: NYT: Listening Clubs Tantalize Audiophiles in London

Yes your point is right but this was written by a non-audiophile journalist who doesn't appear to know that valves and tubes are the same thing (and I thought that the NYT fact checked everything). Mind you the Living Voice system would be more as described, especially in regard to emotional connection. Hearing their best system moved me to involuntary tears. Twice. Once when I heard the music and again when I learned the price.

In a way using the word "audiophiles" in the subject line isn't quite on target. It is hipsters who are going to the clubs. They are "civilians" and until they happened upon this trend they probably didn't know that any loudspeaker costing more than a few hundred gbp even existed. For them the La Scalas ARE the best speakers in the world. Until their first night at the club most likely they coveted those little Bose cube thingies. A tiny number of them might look further but, being hipsters, once they find that the hobby entails racks and wires and totally screws up their minimalist interiors they will, no doubt, lose interest.

Still, a positive thing.
