And what gives you the knowledge to make that comparison? Have you heard them, probably not!
I have! My close friend, Steve Stern, the head of MECA, ranks them very highly. Highly enough, he personally owns a set that I have heard on several occasions. Other than that, I have followed the Linear Power and Blues results in USACi and MECA competitions and all their competitors finish in the top 5 (if not first), locally, regionally and nationally, beating a whole lot of the Focal, Hybrid, and Hertz systems. Seems like the only thing beating them and (not all the time) are the systems in cars with better acoustical environments not the equipment itself. All the Blues and Linear guys competing so far have trucks. Trucks are much harder to set up than a car, and considering that dis-advantage they as still kicking ***. I have also had a chance to listen to the prototypes of the new Linear amps and they are amazing! Steve is also waiting to get a new Linear Power amp for his system.
Kirk Proffitt, 11 time MECA world champion has also changed over to the new Linear Power products, that tells me alot about the product.
I have been reading about a guy in Trinadad that runs a shop and has used all the brands you mentioned, and he got a set of Blues to try and says they are the best he has heard. He is a head judge for MECA in that area, also.
I think I will make my decisions on what I personally hear and from the advice of people that have heard, used, or own them.
I really depise haters that talk their crap with no experience with a product.
