Hi Lowens and Matt

I can see how one might jump to that conclusion after reading my review, I apologize for any obfuscation on my part. The Lafites really have to be heard to be understood – they just sound so incredibly alive and natural. Reading my review it’s easy to miss the forest for the trees. The point I was trying to make was that even though there may be some apparent small shortcomings, (which may likely be room / system dependent) they were, in my view, completely inconsequential to the Lafite’s utterly extraordinary ability to play music.

There are two ways to choose a speaker:
You can choose a speaker because you don’t hear much wrong with it. Or, you can choose a speaker because you hear a lot right with it. That’s not a right and wrong choice, but a completely personal preference. My preference falls into the latter camp.


Doug
