My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
WC,After hearing the BHK 300s in my system,  I agree with your comments, because I found the same thing when I compared them to the Jeff Rowland 625 S2....highs not as detailed, level of realism is not there, things dont POP out of the speaker. Th... 
KEF blades 2 or Dynaudio C4?
There is a thread on Audiogon about why some people hate the high-end. Reading the comments from a former and current dealer provides plenty of reason for some to hate the high-end.  
KEF blades 2 or Dynaudio C4?
tatyana69,I'm not a dealer and I don't own KEF speakers. You may not have a preference for the Blades, but I will tell you the room and/or equipment can significantly affect the overall sound. I initially heard the Blades at RMAF a couple of years...

What speakers do you have?  
My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
Of course everything is system dependent, but I didn't have good results when I tried the BHK 300 mono-amps in my system. After hearing them I decided to keep my Rowland 625 S2 amp. 
Wireworld
I think it's funny how dealers use words, " The Wireworld cables are very well balanced, they did not sound as treble highlighted as the Nordost." You can also conclude that Wireworld cables don't have the detail of some cables.  
Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3
iar,I agree this hobby can be very frustrating. Although no longer, I was in sales for 20 years and I have to remind myself that dealers are trying to sell me something. It's funny how all of them say they carry the best.   
Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3
I'm sorry, but I don't really care what the reviews say. If I hear something, only my ears count. As much money as this stuff cost, I would have to be a serious fool to purchase something based on a review. I had another Audiogon member(Calvin) wi... 
Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3
I heard the A3s with the T+A PA3100HV at Lonestar Audio Show and they didn't sound good. I heard them again with different components  and they sound like an entirely different speaker.  
Wireworld
I've found the opposite of what Audiotroy stated to be true. Why? Cables are system dependent and results will vary!  
KEF blades 2 or Dynaudio C4?
Dealers will Always push what they carry! Some directly, some indirectly. I take what they say with a gigantic grain of salt. If I'm truly interested in a product I go listen and let my ears decide.  
Wireworld
Cables are system dependent...in my system the Wireworld Silver Eclipse speaker cables were great, until I compared them to Clarus Crimson. Same for the Wireworld Platinum Eclipse 7 XLRs, until I inserted Audioquest Fire XLRs. The problem with cab... 
Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid?
No absolutes in Audio,  only preferences; therefore no such animal as the best. 
Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5
d2girls," If you read between the lines he's also pretty much insulting everyone here." Unfortunately, insulting people on Audiogon has become the norm.  
Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5
randyhat,You can't hold Monitor Audio accountable for Bo. If I used your criteria, " Do you realize that your participation in this discussion has driven away potential Monitor Audio customers ", I wouldn't purchase several products. There are Au...
