In my culture, "eh" is a classic Yiddish term which, with its angst removed, became the more meh "meh"!

Your factoids left out the more important details:Speaking of The Marlboro Man... David Millar, spent his golden years* not two miles (3.2 km)**
... [1]from where I sit as I type this.
... [2]destroyed in a fire a couple of years ago. We saw the smoke
... [3]]and, yes, he did die from the effects of lung cancer...
[1] I thought you were gonna show a picture of a cemetery!
[2] Was he allowed to have fire insurance (as a smoker)?
[3] Was he allowed to have medical insurance (as a smoker)?
I thought that was an "Oy..."!
There's no pain in "eh".
ooooffff!
[<< imitating a pain'd European]
ADD: Eurepean-ish "pfffft" may indeed be the equivalent of the new "meh". Eh?

uff da
Sounds Norwegian!
OMG! Magico doesn't have Nordost wires??? I think I just lost all my respect for the "Magic" of Magico. LOL.Magico crossover. Check out the wire that connects to the drivers. This is what you attach your $50000 speaker cables to. And yet somehow these $50000 cables transcend the cable material difference to.....make a difference. Ok if you say so.
Probably an unrelated word to your uff da [definition, please!]... a SouthAfrican EE once taught me the word poofta [sic?] which cannot be a 'close friend'!
Hopefully a Norwegian on here can tell us what it means.
daaaaang! I also see four ~22awg orange (ignoring the matching 4 grays) and unmarked wires coming out of that x-over.
I hope the assembler does not have any bad hair days when hooking them up!
Also the Weiss is made in Switzerland, so factor in 20x labour costs and 3x part costs.
Dropping shade at the door is Weiss is just stupid, they're a studio gear manufacturer who dabbles in retail side gear and has over the made some of the world's best measuring dacs- without having to resort to maximum output levels no one can realistically use to achieve that goal.

Well, that's timely. I happen to be going somewhat back and forth with the Stereophile folks, in the comment sections, on just such a subject:
Toronto Audiofest 2022: Final Words and Observations
The Toronto Audiofest 2022 may not have been the busiest audio show I've attended, but it was still a success. It had plenty of new product launches, great-sounding rooms, and a good amount of traffic, especially on Saturday, when seats became a hot commodity in many exhibit rooms.
