Only audiophiles could take an innocuous discussion about a a new venture in the hifi business that most of us will surely never patronize and turn it into the internet equivalent of professional wrestling. When the "idiot" taunts come out, the shark has been jumped. The Orwellian masters in the newspeak command center will erase this little corner of the hifi world if we don't channel our inner Dr. Toole and be nice. Its just listening to music. Sgt Hulka once said, profoundly, "Lighten up Frances." He was very wise.
In the event that a modest call for civility is unappreciated, my apologies-carry on. Its all in good fun and we are free to decorate our rooms as we choose. Enjoy the music.
