[QUOTE="Caleb Dueck, post: 41563, member: 60"] Re: Another powered speaker comparison A big part of doing this in the first place is to cut through the trade rag articles, where products are compared against themselves, and thus every single one is good. Everyone is warm and fuzzy, everything is good, circle around the campfire. We have more clients coming to us now, since they are fed up with clueless sales droids, context-less magazine articles, etc, and they want experienced comparisons where not everyone is a winner.
