A pair of high end speakers are set up, ready to listen to, at a high-end audio dealership in Manhattan.
Hmm. Hold. Why am I being asked to think about a stereo in the priciest car store in Manhattan? The author says one such as I, have missed the point!
"Lol! A car dealership isn't the ideal environment for auditioning high-end speakers. The main intent of this visit was to highlight the connection between automotive craftsmanship—especially F1—and these speakers. I did sit for a listen and to take the photo, but the main purpose of the visit was not evaluating the speakers."
Bullshit. I'm not being asked to contemplate craftsmanship. I'm supposed to think of a marketing tier. Expensive car = expensive speaker.
Stereophile is not being written for experienced audiophiles, I dare venture.
