If I'd not get what AN is about I wouldn't be hanging out on this boring forum.I think blind following and gruppies are doing disservice to the firm
antagonizing potential buyers.Lets see what the scripture says;there is Peter -the ears , Andy-designer and the factory of 50 yet they produce the best speakers, the best amps, preamps, transformers, cables,passive parts (caps resitors ) also the best turntables , cd-players and dacs. Quite an achievement I mean I'm about to pray to P.Q too;)When do they find the time to precisely match countless speakers to a few different parameters and to the cabinet?? I did not read single honest comparison between the kit and equivalent factory speaker besides rumors spread by the dealers and following web speculations. P.Q himself remarked that matching of the kit speakers is exactly the same as production speakers -it makes a good economic sense by the standards of line assembly. I have to say that I like those speakers a lot and always recommend them to everybody on the quest. All the people in the audio business are deprived and especially reviewers. I had sort of respect for Dudley and the Listener but he's just an opportunist like the others . The names you mentioned ,mean nothing.Also your dealer and his staff could sell as well sausage and beef and their opinion and tastes would be as relevant as they are now. I don't think Kondo's "post scriptum" would create any stir and I could never understand why there were any antagonisms between the camps to begin with. The competition (if any) was on so esoteric (i.e expensive ) level that I doubt that most of the hoodlums involved in those futile accusations had only a brief chance to listen to the equipment not even mentioning direct valid comparison.My guess is that most of the antagonist have a problem with AN UK business model not a gear itself but I personally like P.Q's "magic dust".Regards, L
