Excellent!

Now to make this a really useful post, tell me where I can buy this set 
up for the same price as the soundsticks.............No, of course you 
can't.........Now , with your qualifications and immense experience, 
you will know that the Tannoy NFM's are good little speakers but 
they're far from the last word. They are a 'budget' $250 hi-fi speaker. 
Perhaps you should consider spending a little more, say another $15000 
and you might be getting close.

For most of us in the real world, we are not looking for the ultimate 
hi-fi experience. You wouldn't start off with a cube/usb/mini-jack set 
up for that in any case. Most of us are looking for decent sound 
quality at an affordable price with aesthetics that won't take over 
your living space. The soundsticks offer just that. If your set up does 
what you want it to, then that's fine, but don't try and kid us that it 
is any way the last word because if you know as much as you claim to 
know, then you know it isn't.
