I love fast, dynamic, resolving and detailed speakers... It's just that my ears object to such speakers and 85% of music. There is only so much Diana Krall, Rebecca Pidgeon, Melody Gardot, Shelby Lynn and Patricia Barber these ears can take over the decades... It gets old.

I listen without prejudice to any music I like, anytime of day or night. That's the kind of speaker I like.

Having heard the Sabrina with VTL tubes, that would be perfect if I wanted to step it up from Harbeth and PrimaLuna but I am in no rush to do so.

Variety is the spice of life. YG Acoustics, MBL, Marten, Proac, B&W, Wilson Audio...we should celebrate the differences...more choice translates in more people finding something that matches their expectations. Imagine all loudspeakers sounding the same...what horror [emoji854]

If one speaker is right, all the others are WRONG!

That is the sane approach. Way too logical.

Comparisons need to be made, benchmarks set and of course argued...

Chest beating and stick waving around the campfire trying to prove something to each other with grunts and shrieks has been in our DNA since the caveman days. Now we use keyboards.
