Sorry, Earl, I had to do that. For those who weren't there, the Audio Kinesis room had the coolest looking tabletop fountain I've ever seen. It was so unusual that it competed with the speakers for everyone's attention, but only for a moment until you started listening and realized how good the Summas sounded.
I do agree with you about the relative importance of the speakers in an audio system. I can't comment on the relative importance in percentage terms, but a good speaker can sound very good with mass market electroncs (as did the Summa) while even the best electroncs can't mask the limitations of a poorly designed speaker. The room is also an important factor, as is the quality of the recording. Some highly compressed and equalized recordings wouldn't sound very good in any system.
