In part I understand what he's getting at - I have yet to hear a JBL speaker in operation deliver sound I could live with; of course this is a "fault" of the system tune at the time, but it demonstrates that such a speaker in a non-optimised setup can't "compensate" for failings elsewhere - what one hears is a type of refined PA quality, which would great for live rock recordings, etc - but won't work for music styles at a great distances from such.
Did he really call Revel and JBL speakers dreadful, at least implicitly if not explicitly? Whoa!
Right. He is part of the boutiquey high end audio frat! Do you get it, bro?He did. But relatively speaking, PS Audio is a tiny boutique manufacturer with nothing approaching the resources required to research, develop and produce the products that Harman does. There is absolutely no benefit, to him, in admiring their methodology or their products. All the benefit is in criticizing and attempting to discredit that which is far out of his reach.

Yes, that is not stopping 'professional' people buying Lexus! - because, they know they're getting excellent value for money premium goods, just by referencing the brand. Effectively, a different market segment - smart people, who want good stuff, for whom being a wanker is not a number one priority ...Even so, the customer will know this.

According to John Atkinson he didn't fare much better with his little Sprout?View attachment 2141 This is where I stopped reading:
"We’ve never made a product that didn’t measure well and we always start with that process."
Is this what BS audio calls measuring "well?"
Fair'nuff ...Sorry, Frank, that was a little harsh. Let's just keep the "nonsense" and call it a day.
