Jim, Thank you for the well-articulated statement. They, as a company, often made me feel it was their way [All-Naim] or the highway. Yes, active is certainly the way to go, but it gets pricey in a hurry w/ power supplies, xovers and 4-6 channels of amplification. But even there, they are probably competitive with other high-end brands. Even Wilson admits they are catering to something beyond a person's ears--or sensibilites. Some have more money than sense, which is why outfits like Wilson exist.
