Is anyone else here as interested in this as I am? I've seen a few reviews of online-only speakers mixed in with the reviews of store-bought speakers, but in my mind, it seems like this would be a really great face-off between the companies that specialize in direct internet sales and how their product fares against each other. Maybe, as a equalizer, you include one store-bought brand (comparable of course) to see how the stack up, but the rest would be all internet based. Within each, just for comparison, maybe review one tower and one bookshelf. Perhaps they could be titled:
Internet Direct Speaker Face off I: Bookshelves
Internet Direct Speaker Face off II: Towers
I think it'd be great to read a review that included Rocket, Axiom, Aperion, and Ascend (did I leave out any bigs) going up against one another, head to head under the same conditions. These are the speakers you can't audition unless you actually commit to buying them, so reading the thoughts/reviews from the trusted folks at audioholics, I think, would be of great help. Is anyone else as interested in this sort of showdown, or is it just me?
