I live to do new and different things. Only a fool who's never met me would make a statement like you did. I don't, however, go around kicking in people's front doors to try their food and listen to their obscure speakers. When I come across things I give them a fair shake. I sure wasn't looking for Focals the first time I heard them. I'd never even heard of them back then.  
Am I seriously supposed to wring my hands, pee my pants, and chew my nails to the quick because I didn't listen to every $4000 on the planet and one might be better than mine? I don't have time for that jazz. 

Pee your pants?  Whatever bcgator said, you are over reacting I think.  Cougar4u started this thread, and probably regrets it!

Eh... My point is that we're talking about some obscure internet speaker compared to one that anyone who knows audio has probably heard of, if not actually seen, listened to, and read professional reviews on. I came across some weird speaker with fancy stone cabinets a year and a half ago. Same kinds of "this is the crowning achievement of humanity" hype Ascend's page was littered with. Did anyone actually go look at their page? Whoever authored that travesty of advertising should be fired. It's like the guy couldn't help but gloat about the speakers paragraph after paragraph after paragraph after paragraph! It's called overselling and it's a bad thing. Anyone ever heard of Digital Phase speakers? I doubt it. They sound pretty good, but you'll need to kidnap a dude named Daryl in Tennessee to get a pair. The reason I heard them at all was because the guy had the common sense to open a small storefront and get those things out in the world as much as he could.
