I am afraid, I have problems with that forum. Beside that I agree with your judgement, I read it only – and rarely – only with sunglasses. I am absolutely sure, reading that “forum” creates eye cancer.

Most wealthy audiophiles have an absolute horror from understanding that stuff. They don't want it. The on/off button + a remote is the best for them. For all other things they look for “Statements”. Magazines, personal contact to “reviewers”, “Tests” etc. I think, you know what I mean. When you write "But..." even when you would do it friendly :-), they would hate you. You destroy their dreams.

They don't buy something, because it is good (whatever it means), they buy it, because it is respected, well-known, hip, expensive, rare, big or whatever. But NOT based on its real qualities. They have no idea about it. I don't want to be mean, but this is simple fact. I have no problems with that.  Or an other example, you can always read, that Wilsons (just for example) are easy to drive with low power amps....whenever I will find a picture from a Wilson owner, I have never seen an 4-6k$ amp (or cheaper), I remember, when I was in a Demo room, a young couple came in, and after 2 seconds he said to his girl friend “AAAhhhhh, THAT's Wilson with Krell” (There was no music playing)

Anyway, speakers have with cables the biggest mark up in High end Products. I know why.
