I will have to find out for myself I guess. There are thousands of people out there that have great knowledge of this industry and would disagree. Maybe a $600 Onkyo is one thing, but a $7,000+ piece of high end equipment may be different.
You really are not familiar with Mr. Bunge's background with German Acoustics prior to him moving to the states, or his relationship with Rolf Gemein the founder of Symphonic Line. Rolf is one of the pioneer's of this industry and I'm pretty sure he knows what he is talking about. Klaus is very respected among the high end community, and I guess his bizarre products and familiy lineage can speak for itself.
