They suck because of class D, because no one wants to add 50 lbs of quality amplification into a speaker. We're not talking about high-end class D such as nCore, Pascal, etc, either. We're talking about ICEPower and little chip amp boards. Insipid, low-resolution, harmonically dead, and fatiguing. Likely sucks at sound stage, but that's not a major problem as customers of these products probably don't care about sound stage to begin with. Meanwhile, high-performance speakers with high-quality amps remain the domain of middle-aged audiophiles who don't have a part in the next audio-lifestyle wave. GUTB, I frequent the CA Forums to learn and to enjoy the comerarderie among members. You provide neither of those attributes. Worst you are becoming repetitive and boring. oneway23, mav52 and AudioDoctor 3 LOUNGE: Mac Mini - Audirvana - Devialet 200 - ATOHM GT1 Speakers OFFICE : Mac Mini - Audirvana - Benchmark DAC1HDR - ADAM A7 Active Monitors TRAVEL : MacBook Air - Dragonfly V1.2 DAC - Sennheiser HD 650 BEACH : iPhone 6 - HRT iStreamer DAC - Akimate Micro + powered speakers Link to comment
