"I believe the point was 'more expensive same performance' right? " Partially. I also meant to include those which are more expensive and do not perform as well.
A few years ago I listened to some Linn speakers matched up with McIntosh equipment. The Linns were bookshelves and about the same price as M60s. I have to admit that I loved the look of the McIntosh, but the sound from the Linns was so uninspiring I could hardly believe it. I remember thinking at the time that I didn't know how he kept a straight face when he told me what they cost.
