Hi Rony The only think a manufacturer has over the me is custume made drivers not saying that makes them better.Also you came up with a design conclusion and assembled you own system(That makes you a DIYer).You choose not to endores any produce but you do by association because people respect you thoughts.I'm not saying that all the products at the CES are crap Just a large percentage are.Most of the best driver choices are older drivers (Why?).Sound reproduction is a young science even the best sounding system and how well they sound is not any where close to reproducing the event accurately let alone are we recording these event correctly.In my pursuit of more musical reproduction over the years every thing I have done seemed to improve the musicality of my different setups.I say seemed because to me the changes made me become more involved in the music.Now weather those changes where correct who can be sure but to me they where.People are subjective more than they are objective when it come to human senses.I think there are people out there like you that for some reason can see the over all picture better than most.I really dont know where I'm going with this but your site evokes thoughts that I need to explore and it seem here is a good place to do so.Hope you are feeling better Regards Tim ps I think it would be educational to know what your first setup was at what age and how that changed over the years
