Guys, I do suggest what I feel is the best for the money I know most of you are talking about. Yeah, if you want to blow $20k on a system, then you'll hear me talking about big money stuff from McIntosh and the others. Unfortunately, we never get into those discussions. Why? Because those people that can afford those systems don't come on here for questions. Quite frankly you and I would shit if it were my customers. Reason is that most are from professional sports teams. When I get a call (usually from their manager) they just tell me to do it. Rarely do they ask for a certain brand.
Now you guys understand where I come from? I didn't mean to push DEI all the way but if you look at it, all you guys usually do is tout the same brand or 2. It all doesn't matter though. We all have played with systems in our own way and have made up our minds as to what is good or bad. No one is really right or wrong, well except for those Audiobahn people!!!
