Hyperbole as in "extravagent exaggeration" according to my dictionary.
So we're not to be skeptical of or poke fun at anything a manufacturer says (using the standard audio buzz-word cliches that we all know and love) just because we haven't heard their products? Have you yourself heard the entire line of Bose products properly set up in a room specifically optimized for their use? Doubt it. Ever laughed at any of the Bose bashing comments that goes on in here regarding how silly people find Bose's product hype to be? I'll bet you have.
According to the Machina Dynamica website, the "Benefits of Brilliant Pebbles include greater dynamics/life as well as a deeper, more transparent and balanced soundstage". You don't find ANYTHING even slightly amusing about a manufacturer making those kind of claims about what looks like (on the surface) to be a $ 99.00 3" bottle of rocks, even one whose reputation you seem to admire? Hmmmm...
