I just find that today, pretty much anything that produces a sound is considered high end, especially by the magazines; especially Stereophile.

Every review reads the same way. Every speaker finds the reviewer enumerating the recordings he listened to, and how they sent him into paroxysms of ecstasy. For some dudled reviewers, the worse the speaker is, the better they like it [because bad speakers have 'humanith'].

But, tin isn't gold. Gold is gold. I've heard lots of Polks. They're not Proacs, Quads, Avalons, or even Vandersteens [which. properly set up are incredibly good and really are high end, IMO]. And, I just wanted to point that out.
