Certainly alot of opinions, anecdotal offerings and self-projecting to be found here...interesting enough but ultimately worthless for any particular individual. A musician might pick brand X. An accountant may choose brand Y and a politician may choose...well that might not be any easy one:O) Each of us have unique ears, life histories and personal bias's that dictate to us in some way or another, what choices we will allow ourselves to make. Sometimes blind innocence is helpful for not missing what we otherwise would have, due to our own personal "audio prisons" that we have constructed based on heresay, half truths, bad demo's and yes...deceptive reviews! It's best to keep an open mind and try new things sometimes, even if there from one of those "controversial brands" that you may have decided to or been convinced into disregarding. I recently did the unthinkable, after owning many certified "Audiophile Accepted", ultra expensive speakers....I auditioned a pair of made in China B&W PM1 speakers..GASP!! Geuss what...I bought them on the spot. The even funnier thing is, is that they are one of the most gloriously musical transducers I've owned...and for that, I'm excessively happy:O)
