Plus i dont have audiophile Friends really .
Never go to shows or dealers anymore , virtually nobody has heard mine lol.
Audiophiles just like Christoph and spirit and many others are desperate to put a what s best sticker on audio Gear .
A whats different sticker is mostly more appropriate / Meaningfull imo

The sticker was put by the name of this forum. On UK forums there is no what's best, you just randomly fight with each other.

Not guilty Andromeda.
You need to accept a retraction from me at face value.
And Tbh w your criticism of Zu in the past (you made it clear you don't respect their design choices), you're being inconsistent with championing "different" or "meaningful" as a label. Zu are both of these, but you were happy to dismiss them without hearing them.
But we can all accept that you'd prefer your speakers.

Christoph is questioning your hearing on the basis of your conclusion.

Hé is questionning my hearing because hé has the grands himself .
As i Read in his sign, which makes him a bit biased off course.
Now do you really want to know why i think mine are better okay.
Mine need 10 tot 20 watts only.
Mine have a bit better bass integration , on some organrecordings i heard slight lagging .
When his are playing loud at 96 percent mine can turn up a notch .
Mine sound blacker , more stable and more natural and more transparant.
If in a room like his ,mine can Just explode with dynamics which makes your stomach turn

I don't Need a sticker for anything. It only matters to me.

I have heard Henks Grands several times now and for me, there is absolutely no way a "simple" small cone-dome Speaker with off the shelf Chassis is even coming Close to Henks Grands.
This may be a blunt Statement but in my (extensive) experience this just doesn't happen.

Btw. I have a pair of Apogee Studio Grands. By far not in the League of the Apogee Grand.

After re-reading your post above, I really think you are delusional :rolleyes:

Who do you think is more biased?
The "designer" or a random guy who happens to have heard Henks Grands several times and 5 thousand different cone-dome Speakers? ;)

Guys easy no point going on here. There is no reason for Andromeda to not prefer his speakers and I understand why Christoph loves the grands, like I do, but we can move on.

If your are an idiot for saying your system is the best what, does saying it is "indistinguishable from live" make you?
