If there is such a thing as an "uninformed idiot", then there must be such a thing as an "informed idiot"?

I think informed idiots should wear uniforms to differentiate themselves from those pesky uninformed idiots. We could then describe them as informed uniformed idiots.

Back to the main reason for this post: Congratulations on your multiple promotion, as "uninformed idiot" is certainly several levels above the other names Tubular has called you!

Anyone who likes the PSB Stratus Mini speaker is okay with me -- they were my second choice for satellite speakers in my main system in the mid-1990's when I auditioned them at home for a few days. Their frequency response was a little flatter than the speakers I chose, although my speakers imaged better, although I chose my EPOS ES11's mainly because some golden ear had purchased them for about $800 and didn't like the weak bass, so he sold them to me for only $400. I didn't mention subwoofers to him because most golden ears hated them before listening to them!

I had gotten the Stratus Minis because we were in between speakers. We had done a lot of traveling when my wife's mother was ill and dying. I really wasn't looking in their price range but included the Stratus Minis in the audition list because they measured so well (most speakers in my audition list are there basically because they measure well) and in the store environments, they stood up quite well. They worked quite well as my main speakers for some time but I always had the intention of putting them down in the family room for HT, where they sound quite wonderful--very clear on dialogue and no listening fatigue.

There are better speakers and my current main speakers are smoother, especially on massed strings. Even my wife could tell the difference! It would be interesting to see the current iterations of the Paradigm Signature Series and the new PSB Synchrony Series, among others, but basically, I already have first class speakers and am not really seriously looking to replace them.
