QED. It's for idiots and someone will buy it. Quote from linked review: "Application of the VTS Tuning Dots to the window behind the listening seat. This is a large window measuring four feet by eight feet. Improvements in soundstage dimensionality and image clarity were readily apparent, as well as the removal of harmonic smearing." They seem to be talking about 40mm plastic discs that you stick to the four corners of your window. F******* unbelievable. I have a cardboard box that, if you stick it over your speakers, makes the music sound fantastic. It can be had for a mere $700. A pair is $2,000. I'm certain to sell some.
