Thanks Rich. Why do it? I know the likely reactions - thats OK. If we don't do comparisons and review, why bother talking about this stuff at all? I bought the Oris because of the reviews I read. I don't know anybody nearby with one. Some people would say this is stupid, thats fine, I took a risk, and it paid off enormously. I figured that if it didn't work out, then I could use the driver for a traditional Lowther box, or sell the lot at some loss.
I think these type of reviews are helpful. If somebody says "Uhh, I heard the Oris/Duo/etc at a show, and it sukked", OK, thats a data point, but one I take with a grain of salt.
But if a lot of people, are all saying "Gee, the sky is blue", well then, that means something too. Doesn't mean the sky is blue for blind people, but probably I can believe it.
I got off my butt and auditioned Maggies, based on the rave reviews. After I heard them, I bought them. Eventually I sold them, not because they were terrible, but they just didn't work for me (too big, required too much power). But it was something that took a month or two, in my house, before I could discover that. I knew the size and power requirements beforehand, and took a chance that it would work out for me. It was a worthwhile decision, I learned a lot.
