Why are most speakers designed for robots?

That's it scott_w....feel like I finally nailed the Audio Nexus, where my analytical brain is satisfied enough to let the rest of my brain be absorbed by the music.  I can really feel like I'm with the musicians in the same space...reinvigorates me and relaxes me at the same time!!

Totally agree with Dave. In the sound vs music spectrum I'm on the music side. Wilsons and other hyper precise gear make detailed sound, require space age set up and only sound good with certain recordings. I am in this game to hear great music - even, gasp, on sub optimal recordings. 

Exactly skoczylas...I have thousands of CD's and not all are audiophile approved.  I am amazed how much detail and air I can get out of the Krell's, just without crossing the line into hyper detailed.

Hi Dave b,  congratulations on the fine krell resolution 2 speaker's,  I agree hugely with your assessment of nearly all high end speaker's,  the speaker's are the one thing I believe is the most over priced products in the entire audio chain,  next would be cable's,  however,  I get way more performance out of cable's that cost the same amount of speaker's,  say  $20,000.00 for an example,  that is why I have cable's listed second here,  and second because of the huge profit margin cable manufacturer's make considering a week of labor, and material cost,  and week of labor if you are getting some hand built exotic cable retailing north of  $25,000.00 for 8ft speaker cable's,  cheers dave.

I also have found that the cables I use have been key to unleashing the potential of my equipment.  Although my interconnect and speaker cables alone list for $29K, I have worked with an online dealer for years who allows me to retain my previous purchase value and heavily discounts my new purchases.  My latest purchase cost me only $13K vs the $29K for example and that was before trade in discounts which brang the cost down substantially more.  In my system, the cables are the arteries that let the musical blood flow unhindered and full of life giving tonality and dynamics!
