I'd like to thank you Ian for your coverage of CAF. I would like to also applaud you on being a strait shooter without the fluff. We all need more honesty in this great hobby of ours. If these companies don't wake up and start making more affordable components for the average consumer, they will have to make bluetooth speakers, because they are pricing themselves out of the market with their hifi components. I'm working with a $5500 Creek, Audiolab, and Triangle based system that I'm always fine tuning that I'm very happy with. I went out of my way to build a good budget system, and am proud of it. I'm not saying it would blow the doors off any uber rig, but people would be surprised of the quality sound I'm getting with a little research and matching. Synergy is more than half the battle, and fine tuning takes up the rest. Problem is, people are lazy, if you know what I mean. Thanks again. Keep up the good work! Btw, Happy Holidays to you all.
