” Now, they’ve adapted a great studio trick (and many of their panels are used in studios) to the home environment by putting a pair of stands on one of their panels, making it a freestanding panel.

“High-end products are, by definition, expensive. There’s a premium for luxury products that can’t always be directly tied to the cost of producing, marketing, and selling them, but bleeding edge performance and excellence in design are requirements to achieve full-fledged high-end status.
