Why no love for these award winning speakers?

Posted by FrankC (A) on May 1, 2007 at 12:11:17

I've been shopping for my next set of speakers for a while. When I was in L.A. last June attending T.H.E. show, I spent most of my time trying to identify speakers to put on my short list. Unfortunately, it was a disappointing show as a lot of manufacturers didn't show up. However, I was impressed by three speakers, Verity Parsifal Ovation, Usher Be-20, and Hyperion 968s. The speakers from these companies have won numerous awards and praises from show attendees, magazines, etc. etc. But I don't see them getting discussed much on these forums, except maybe Verity.

A friend on mine, who I consider to have golden ears, recently spent some time listening to the Usher Be-20s at a dealer driven by all Usher equipment. He was really impressed and thinks that they match or surpass even his Sonus Faber Amati Homage.

I am just wondering why speakers like these that get tons of publicities, lots of good reviews, and tons of favorable impressions at various shows don't necessarily become more popular?
