Sorry, but if the XRT1K's & 2K's are not in either of those lists, and the muddiest speakers of all (YG) are there, I claim shinnanegans.
So glad I don't absorb what "reviewers" say, whether in wine or audio.

Apparently you must have heard the YG's with some little tube amps, because with Pass amps they sure as heck aren't muddy or slow.

Krell's. The most sterile and non-muddy of all amps.
Sorry for the distortion, I wanted a pic but was running away too quickly. :\

How come no mention of Meridian DSP8000, Tannoy Westminsters, Acapella Violon Mk IV, MBL 101eMkII, etc, ...?
Like that, how to claim its a 'thorough' list .... Not fair, even McIntosh XRT1k ... and upper missing .... Last edited by JSCC; 06-26-2010 at 09:16 AM. |

So, all this is always a question of personal preferences.
Go figure how they can put the PMC Fact under 10k and not the EB1i above 10k ? to my ears, the EB1i are a better value... An other comment : the Magico M5 are here. To paraphrase a comment of a member I forgot the name, they sound so dry that you get thirsty like you were in the middle of Sahara listening to those .... And the big wonderful JBL Everest, K9 and others are not there ???? This is BS awards for my ears, sorry....
