[QUOTE="croak, post: 21224, member: 361"] Nope Cleansound, think you misunderstood me. Agree fully with above post. Giving detailed comment on a particular component from a subjective point requires swapping said component and even ancillary components. IE, compare a set of older Thiel speakers with a set of say similar sized NHT, both driven by a biggish mass brand amplifier and you will come away saying the Thiels are boomy and disjointed sounding and the NHT clean and open. Change the amplifier to something more stable and suddenly the Thiel takes the lead. Its crossovers are more precise and complex but as a result more demanding on the amplifier. Too often a component is given a bad name as it was quickly auditioned in non complementary system/environment. This is why matching is the key and matching is often trial and error or based on the advise of one who has gone through the trial and error. My reason for starting the thread was frustration with people who have not or hardly experienced a product and then speak to all who will listen of it with a sense of authority and knowledge. Often these opinions seem mere echoes of other info on the web. I seem not to be alone with this at all. [/QUOTE]
