The cover promises "Superb-sounding speakers at both ends of the price spectrum"....then mentions Vandersteen and Dynaudio.
I think to myself, "Self, what wonderful affordable thing has that Vandersteen genius done now? To what extreme of excess has Dynaudio now taken its speaker line?"
45,000 and 1,200 dollars later, my expectations have been spun right round, baby, right round!
Shows how my own bias is skewed when I hear the names Vandersteen and Dynaudio!
Both reviews are great reads. Kudos to the reviewers!
(I do admit to having started to develop some price fatigue, however. {Not sour grapes, just sort of a numbing of my enthusiasm when I see some of those prices!} No offense.)

If I'm going to be critical - the cover had some areas of poor contrast between the text and the imaging. I run into the same problem on Powerpoint with red and black font over an image. Very hard to make it pop. The light/dark palate of the photo image was quite similar to the shading around the red font, especially in the lower left.
