Markus46, you are not alone in getting the idea that much fun is made at others' expense around here. But try reading on for a while and see if some of it perhaps starts to make sense as you expand your context.
So much of "Audio" is not only market driven, but it is plopped into a market that has been "pre-conditioned" to await and accept the current latest-and-greatest "break-through" or the solution-du-jour to the problem-du-jour, not unlike the pre-met-and-decided "fashions" for any given season, this by the "audio journalists" whose mission is precisely to SELL what they are given to sell. Not a problem, I suppose, as long as everyone is aware of it; but at the same time, no real help, either.
Perhaps at this point the Continuum looks to you like some Uber-'Table, who knows. But I assure you that the price jump was exactly and specifically to pay for the drum roll that pronounced it U-T.
BTW, "cirteria" is the plural form of "criterion". Lots of non-native English speakers here, some with PhDs, etc., and likely more than a few ADHD, etc. If you are sensitive it is probably best to limit exposure until you become inured.
Best regards,
