sometimes they might just need a guiding hand back to the real world. Never good to tar a group with the same brush.
I don't know about you, but I greatly prefer 2nd order crossover slopes. Electronic or "passive". Been a paid designer of speaker systems from the late 1970's and that has been my experience. I strongly prefer electronic (active) crossover designs, but the cost in amplifers is high. That and a ton of wire between the amps and speakers.
No, do not locate the amplifiers near the speakers.

What kind of disc do you mean, a CD or DVD? If 'mother earth' is the name of an album or a movie, then maybe it could be thought of as you suggest 🙂
Twelve year old me once berated my grandfather for soldering the ends of his speaker wire. He used standard electrical cable like you'd use for a lamp. I clearly knew better as I read all the audio magazines. His wiring was no good and soldering the tips was a sin. All the audio rags said so. Never got to tell him that he was right.
Sure, you just need to run 'chgrp' after the untar if you don't like the results.
Acoustic guitars are the same, legend having top players asserting to top luthiers they can sense the difference of ~0.001" in some string / bridge / saddle / neck setup parameter. Maybe they can, but for us ordinary players...I for one wouldnt need a $10k guitar. A used score on a Takamine for $350 easily bests my playing and sound of it appreciation ability.
I crack up at the thought of Kurt Cobain's Martin selling for 5-6 million at auction. Wonder why an equally famous person's "stereo system" doesnt get gathered up and auctioned off for high dollar amounts, just because they owned and used it?

What kind of CRAP is that?
Oh, I see...
It's meant to keep us old codgers clinging to our vintage equipment.
Curious that those who are best at identifying sheep are, almost without exception, among the ones being herded.
Mac DeMarco taught himself to play on a cheap beaten up guitar and created a whole new style of playing, just because he didn't know any better.
Jeebus H. Gulbrantsen McCreebus... for ~$3k USD I expect more - a lot more - than laser cut plywood glued with what appears to be liquid nails. And the transistor radio-inspired volume knob... Wha? I also noticed that the examples shown had the CE rating, but that the UL logo is conspicuously absent. Hmmm... And three (count 'em!) stick-on feet. Wow. Just. Wow.
Something I've noticed about many audio reviews is that most of the writing is at best merely tangential to the device under review. The reader becomes absorbed in everything else (e.g., the history of the manufacturer, the music selections, maybe the system components) until the purported subject becomes little more than a MacGuffin.
Not to knock the maker here as I've never heard one in person, but at the end of the day it's a class D amp. I'm sure it sounds okay, but to me probably not $3k OK. To each his/her own...
Watch "Zakk Wylde plays Black Sabbath on Hello Kitty Guitar" (on you tube) to see how much a fancy guitar matters.
"...mother Earth is a disc?" Missed the joke I see...Earth as a disc?, as opposed to a sphere? Much more severe case of delusional lack of thought. That is what this whole thread is isn't it? Delusion on a truly grand scale, complete with institutional & capitalistic collusion.
