I think your reply confirms what I said.
"the high end has a severe problem .... with the general public".
Ok.Really the spec is not the dog, it is the tail and should not wag the dog.
I hardly ever pay any attention to specs other than the most cursory glance.
I prefer to listen to a hifi component.
Equally, why be bothered by the "size" of an engine? Better to drive/ride the thing and see how it works.
Again you tell me my ears are lying because your figures say something else. Frankly, your figures did not buy the equipment nor listen to music through it.
When I hear deeper bass and sweeter extended top, you tell me I'm actually hearing less.
The original system it went in was ... mmmm Arcam Alpha CD player, Exposure xx amplifier and Epos 14 speakers.
Perhaps not your definition of high end, but I do not think the x10d was designed for Martin Logan.
In fact, perhaps not only is the tail wagging your dog, but it is barking up the wrong tree.
It reminds me of the old joke, where a tourist is lost in Ireland and asks a local how to get to Kinsale. "I wouldn't start from here." Is the reply.
Unfortunately most people will not scrap a whole system in order not to add something "sinful" such as a tonal control, or x10d.
To most people the system is at the service of the music.
I suggest you stay with your high end equipment and leave others to buy more music. Music is the point of all this, isn't it?
