If the 552 DR is so good, why desire the Statement?

Posted by: Consciousmess on 23 July 2017

I need to challenge people here as if one looks through older posts, the 52 was once the bees knees. Of course its updated model is better, but then the praise and words said for the 552 make one think THAT was the pinnacle.

No post says the 552 is lacking. None. So why desire the Statement?

(And how is the 52 now viewed?!)

Human fickleness is perplexing. Maybe that's the wrong word, but when the 'Statement 2' comes out, how will the Statement be commented on... e.g. "I was listening to superb hifi but now the band is properly in the room".

Curious, don't you think?

I've used my 552 with my NAP110 in the recent past. I think a pair of NAP135s would be stunningly good.
