It's hard to go wrong with Anthem (www.anthemav.com) or their higher-end Statement line.
anseK @ Dec 25th 2008 5:38AM
As an owner of a Anthem Statement D2 and A5 I completely agree with you. There is greater depth of field and significantly more accurate tonal quality to the sound produced from these higher end products.
Being a classically trained musician and former sound quality judge I am cursed with those "golden ears" Ben and Steve love to insult.
There really is a difference in sound from higher end equipment manufactures but if you have damaged your ears through rock concerts or driving around as kid with the car stereo blaring or spent days on end with your garage band using your guitar amp which goes to eleven, your ears would be too damaged to hear the difference.
Steven Kim @ Dec 27th 2008 3:29PM
Love to insult? Nah -- I'm one of those freaks who talks about "soundstage," "presence," and other audiophile malarky. But in my (and Ben's) experience, most folks can't hear the difference and fewer still will pay the long green for it.
