What I find really interesting is that in part 1 of this shootout last month, the same reviewer prefered Klipsch and Aperion over Dynaudio, PSB and Paradigm... and in this part he raves about Magnepan and to a lesser extent Martin Logan.. It really shows how different musical tastes can be.... Which is part of what makes this hobby so sweet...

I normally don't expect a reviewer to like both Klipsch and Magnepan, so that was an eye-opener...

I really hope Playback keeps up the good work though... it's just so not North-American to have so many reviews of similarly priced products in consecutive issues... Seriously that's a comparison of 10 (I think) floorstanding speakers in the under $2K price range in just 2 months!!!

EDIT: One of the best things about the 2 part shootout is that they chose a real world price range... under $2k for a floorstander is where most people would be shopping... having a massive shootout of speakers above $10K is fun to read but unlikely to be of relevance to most people...
