How competitive are you with your system?

I gave these YouTube clips another listen, on my system this time.

We all have different tastes but to me, the Thiel and Avantgarde systems are clear front-runners. I have little doubt the Montemar would sound fantastic in the right room, whereas the Focal seem confused and overwhelmed by theirs. The PMC's bass sounds surprisingly flabby, although they may have a physicality in real life that's absent from the video but might tip the scales in their favor.

@kennyc 

i admit my question about why people respond to this thread is somewhat specious.  But I still think a good many people compare their systems to others’.

Who told you masking the issue is a priority? 

@gano ...always, everywhere, and anything can be improved in some fashion....or with the major application of ca$h which can vary wildly in audio.
This variance is due imho to speaker selection v. the space the drivers are in v. the end listeners' ears that are wired to preferences that vary more than the means of presenting such...

Short of DNA transfers to specifics....no middle ground, just muddled mud. *L*

Your best will always be looked down upon by some, yet may be a level some still strive for.

It's been a long while since I've heard someone else's system....which does absolve me from having to be diplomatic in my comments....

I love to hear other systems. I downloaded Fink - Trouble's What You're In with free YT download app. You can do same. Fink is 21mb. Can I send this file to you in Agon?  Alex/Wavetouch audio
