I can't read Roy Gregory's prose these days - I don't have the patience.
I couldn't help but notice this though.
I simply can't take the man seriously - although I have little doubt that Kevin's speakers are magnificent on some music.
I personally think I'd spend half a million on something a little less ostentatious and showy.

Roy Gregory is either an idiot, or writing with his tongue firmly in his cheek. Take this gem from his review:
'Now, ask yourself this: how often do you play string quartets on your system at home? How often have you heard a system that allows you to play and enjoy string quartets? In fact, you might well ask, whats the point of string quartets, period? Except that just about every major classical composer wrote them, and for many they are considered amongst their major works. Why? Because the instrumentation allows an incisive temporal precision to the playing that, combined with the massive dynamic contrasts available, can create exactly the drama and intensity I described above -- a level of drama and intensity that escapes virtually all audio systems. Indeed, most hi-fi renders string quartets, especially the later examples, as little more than random noise.'
The answers to his first two questions, in my case at least, are: quite often, and almost always. The only system I've owned that failed badly in this respect was based around a Sony turntable, and to be fair, it sounded equally crap playing most types of music.
Which raises an interesting question; what systems has Roy Gregory been listening to that 'render string quartets, especially the later examples, as little more than random noise'? Do they include the many systems he has raved about in various publications over the years?
