Style, whilst I agree with the sentiment of a lot of what you say I have to disagree on the point about not easily bettering them. My ATCs are in a completely different league. Of course the price is too, but SBLs are only really a good buy nowadays because 1. They are so cheap s/h 2. Not much else works quite as well as a boundary design, that I know of, certainly if considering point 1.
Point taken - absolutely. I agree that there are other loudspeakers out there which are better than the SBLs. But I haven't found a pair that play music like the SBLs and do that better. And, as you mentioned, definitely not in the same price range. In fact, a pair of s/h NBLs or Audio Physic Avanti IIIs or later are in a different league compared to the SBLs and also very good VFM. But they don't sound like SBLs on steroids, which I hope the DBLs do
