Is ASR for real, or is it only for those sub $1k or even sub $2K?

I did some browsing on the forum and it seems like most don't own very expensive gears.  Most of them own mostly sub 1K or 2K gears.  

I recently ask about feedback on the Polk R700 but after about a month with no responds.  I did a search "ASR Polk R700", with all but one poster which actually owned a pair.  Most of them would point you to some measurement and some theoretical discussion but non actually own a pair.

I also looked at a few posts on budget speakers such as the Kef Q7 or Polk R600, but I didn't see any actual owners responding.  

I don't mean to knock on them but ASR seems like a lot of hype but very little substance.

Amir based on his name, he may be of middle eastern descended.  In that culture, people tend to be condescending when disagreed.

That is a remarkably ignorant comment that also happens to be false.

No reason to go down that path. Stereotyping is a dangerous and ignorant exercise. 

Fair enough.

Interesting thread on ASR.  I follow a lot of the online stereo sites including most that have been mentioned.  I appreciate the testing you see on most of their reviews.  They provide additional data points to add to research.  Some of the comments can be a bit much which is why I tend to read instead of post.  To my mind Everyone is entitled to their opinion.  Some people take differing opinions personally.  Unfortunately civility seems to be in short supply online and even in person lately.
