Does Technology Trump Quality?

Uh... I think I get it, but the initial response works for me.

I'm all about owning things which have great builds, technology and esthetics. BUT...

If a thing or even several things fall into the budgetary constraints, the one (s) which provide the biggest grin factor, toe tapping, and knee bobbing usually win.

I'm just buying them, not disecting them. how many space age bit and pieces inside of them matters not to me. In fact I could care less. Well, within reason of course.

It truly is given the electrical needs of the spakers are being met, it's their size, look and sound.

Numbers only serve to get them onto or off of one's own short list of viable speaker candidates.

Naturally, that's just my two cents worth.. Maybe some folks work all this out on a slide rule or PC of sorts these days, but i'd bet a lot that in spite of all the integers being sliced and diced about in the developmental stages of speaker erection, size, looks, and sound, are the determiners... well... and price too... even for the builder. Or should I say especially for the designer.
