"redesigned to reveal increased resolution in DVD-A and SACD" What? Does that mean that speakers made in the past 20 years were specifically designed with low resolution for CDs? If this is true, I should be out buying 30 year old speakers because back then, they were all designed for vinyl playback and should have even better resolution than the ones currently made. Gar.

I'd expect that type of marketing garbage for mass marketed products. But what set me off as seeing this on JBL's K2 site: "Today's new media present a formidable challenge to audio engineers. DVD and SACD technologies, which far surpass CD audio in frequency response and dynamic range, place unprecedented performance demands on loudspeaker systems. ...Effortlessly delivering the full bandwidth and dynamics of the new media – without suppression at any listening level – K2 S9800 speakers reveal subtleties you've never before experienced in recorded music." Obviously, the speakers are not targeted at the audio enthusists community, but rather to those with money to burn for the latest "cool" trend. Very disappointed.
