Anyone who announces in the heading of their post that they are revealing the "truth" about high end speakers and then writes "MUST READ" after their own post is pretentiously announcing their upcoming troll. Good job, it worked. You have 5 pages worth of responses.
Regarding your "truth"...all I can say is welcome to the world of consumer goods. If you are fortunate enough to afford custom made clothing, automobiles, electronics and speakers then great, you might find exactly what fits your needs. Most of us have to purchase off the rack. Why do you single out high end speakers as the target of your incessant whine? Using your logic, there are thousands of products we purchase in which we are getting a "raw deal". Somehow many of us have managed to put together very pleasing systems.
