I don't like auto-exposure cameras either. Never liked letting a machine do my thinking...

Listening with no tech doesn't impress me much...on the net are tons of glowing posts about abominable speakers...

Life is a balance...all the knowledge is no good without good instincts on how and when...OTOH instinct alone only goes so far..

AMEN. If you have enough marketing money you can convince a LOT of people your product is the best. Take Bose for example. ;)

No, That's OK. You can take them. :P

I think Todd said "No highs, no lows, it must be Bose"

Yeah, that what we always said.

However..... Back in the early 90s I toured with a set of Bose powered speakers. The were called Acoustimass before they name was applied to the consumer line. Looked like an overgrown Bose 802 but with a 12" woofer inside the box, and the amp + crossover in there too. Still used the array of small cones on a curve for the mids and highs. They were really quite good and I enjoyed running them. They were the only pair I've ever seen.
