This is Danny's view on it:
His answer regarding GR Research LGK 2.0 but he mentions this with the quality of components:
This is a review and detailed measurements of the GR Research "Little Giant Killer" (LGK) 2.0 bookshelf speaker. It comes in various forms from a kit ($313) to fully finished pair ($1,038). Our DIY expert @Rick Sykora built my sample using the flatpack ($100): Rick had to do the round over on...

The sad thing really is that instead of just trying to be better, he is participating in the same us v. them mentality that plagues the US political landscape today and is staking his flag on an imaginary hill of make-believe.
Nobody really likes criticism, even if its offered constructively.
That said, Ive watched adult Speaker designers engage positively with reviewers offering negative comments.
What's different here?
To me, the most obvious piece is that Danny is relying on people believing the grass is always greener if you just spend more money. He's repeated this like a mantra and believes it himself.
He is, frankly, no different than the cable charlatans at this point... even if he is capable of designing a good Speaker (which we know he is).
To me, the mark of a good designer is somebody that even admits that you don't need to buy their flagship tower when their Monitor is 9/10s as good in performance and maybe only lacks slightly in output! The same designer that says, "sure, I can put more expensive components in the XO if you want," but freely admits that the XO as designed is the best that can be achieved.
At this point, Danny is just bluster... a fart in a wind tunnel. (Too bad the air is clearly recycled since we have to keep smelling it!)
It really is best, at this point, to shelve him in the
Attic of Irrelevancy.
Let the people who want to support him do it at their own peril. This is sadly no different than the people who think
that special cable will really make the final difference in their system. No matter how much you/we try to tell them differently, it isn't a matter of rational behavior any longer.
The threads been entertaining... But I'm out.
