Omni-Directional speakers? No-Thanks. I will keep my T39s and Otops.
I did like his comment:

The main advantage of component systems is that the dealer can sell ridiculously expensive cables, hand-knitted by Peruvian virgins and soaked in snake oil, to connect it all up. That some of these are supplied with arrows denoting the direction of signal flow defies description. Fortunately, the electrons can’t see the markings and behave normally.

I want me some of them Peruvian Virgin made cables with directional arrows!

Sorry I have better things to do than read that. I got through most of the first page and saw too much BS being thrown around. Whatever you beliefs are on capitalism and evolution they need not be in what may have been a good theoretical insight to future sound production.

Physics vs phsyco aucoustics I will take physics. Otherwise I would be sporting a Bose cube system.

Careful what you wish for - there well may be a very good reason that they're still virgins...

They can beat up all the boys in the neighborhood and outrun their brothers? :loler:

Lord, I apologize for that one there, and please be with all the starving Pygmies down there in New Guinea!

This virgin obsession seems a little unhealthy guys. I mean I am no doctor but I am versed enough to know that if you get them, they may not be virgins much longer, it is a one time deal. Thus now you have SWMBO or War Office(s).

Do they make cables out of mithril or midichlorians?
