Thanks Gene, you and Audioholics, always do excellent work using blind and then sighted reviews of this sort which makes for very interesting reading!
Of course I always complain about the speakers reviewed, so why stop now, eh? I know you guys are at the mercy of manufacturers to "man up" and actually send you something for a shootout, and chickens that they are, a lot of the good ones don't. They are idiots in that regard, I'd say, since you guys really do try to be honest and "un-fluffy" like the major rags. There are tons of manufacturers who are very well thought of as "bang for the buck" manufacturers. I mean Paradigm, Magnepan, Monitor Audio, even B&W has competitive models if you are interested in general sound quality rather than full range response.
What bothers me is that Klipsh won?! (no disrespect to the "real" klipsch speakers). No, I have not done a blind test of a Klipsch model like this, but I have listened to lots of speakers, Klipsch included. I'd much rather have a non full range Paradigm reference series (or other brands) at $1K over this lot. Just sayin'.
