Demo'd my system to another local audiophile this weekend.... he was mainly interested in speakers around the $2K mark so he listened to the Gallos and BW 703 speakers in addition to several others. He was interested in the Strata Minis that I have and I figured I'd give the guy a demo since it's hard to find these Internet Direct speakers.
So, the demo went very well with my system at full-tilt (DAC and all :cheers.... here's an email from my new-found friend:
Thank you for having me over. I had a lot of fun. You taught me more
about speakers in 1 hr than I thought possible. I appreciate you
sharing your knowledge with me.
I'm jealous of your Summits. As soon as I got home I looked up how
much it would cost to get a pair of used Summits. In the end I decided
that I should use that money towards some good equipment. The Minis
are a great pair of speakers. The best I've heard in that price range
and I know for sure that I'll be very happy with them.
Thanks again!
He ended up purchasing the Minis, but is totally tantalized by Martin Logan. The whole objective of the demo was for the Minis, and I showed him that they are great speakers... I was leary of demoing the Summits for him but he wanted to hear what they were about...
So, he put it this way... the Minis "paint the picture", but the Summits "show you the actual movie". I dont think I could've said it any better.

Initially, he doubted the difference between a $2K speaker and one that is $11K.... point of diminishing returns he said. Little did he know that he was.... wrong.
