You keep on making up opinions and motives for me. I thought you were giving that up . . .

You take a bunch of texts and read things into them that are not there. It seems to be just the way you are.
Stereophile gives ratings. I point out at what level they put some products. The point is that while you and morricab may think my speakers to be mid-fi, there are other very knowledgeable and experienced people who think they are very near the top. Let's put you and morricab in the scales on one side and John Atkinson, Andrew Marshall, and Doug Schneider in the other tray . . . . hmmmm! In any case, I would not buy a speaker based on anyone's recommendation.
You utterly fail to notice the implication when I pointed out that JA reviewed my speakers but apparently another reviewer did the SF Cremona Auditor, whereas I would have rated it with mine and some others. Such ratings have to be taken with a grain of salt.
Nothing I have said logically requires me to accept Stereophile's rating system (which I don't), their descriptions of the ratings (which I don't), nor their reliability. Reviewer's opinions about speakers are helping for making an audition list, that's all.

"So yes I trusted another person's judgement, very much like you want me to trust yours."
Where have I said I wanted you to trust my judgment about sound quality? Citations, please.

"Yes Pat you will have to keep repeating that as long as you keep mentioning Stereo-Review-Phile's Class A (Restricted LF) status of your speaker"
LOL. It apparently just bugs you that my speakers got a Class A Restricted LF rating in Stereophile and yours haven't.
But let's look at the context in which both of you referred to my speakers as mid-fi, which makes your motives suspect. Both of you have called my speakers mid-fi to argue against my opinions on testing for the audibility of small differences. Technically, you employed the circumstantial ad hominem fallacy. But of course, your remarks about the quality of my equipment do nothing to prove that you can detect all the differences you claim to be able to detect.
