As it turns out, they don't know very much. Here's an illustration. When they tested stereo headphones they picked a pair of Radio Shack, $38 a pair as the best. It turned out, they compared all the phones to a cheap pair of Radio Shack speakers, picking the ones that sounded most like the speakers. This "expert" didn't know that any decent headphone will sound better than almost any speaker, so I had a friend who thought his new RS phones were better than my $300 AKG's. So much for expertise. Heck, he may be the same guy who wrote that list. On another note, if prices on our CFs keep dropping, they will be paying us to drive them away. LOL
