The reason why John Darko is so popular, is because he performs his reviews in a small living room that is so typical for a very huge part of audience‘s living environment. A apartment fitted with normal income IKEA Kalax furniture representing the reality for many of his audience.
He distinguishes himself by reviewing systems that don’t need large living spaces or large or dedicated empty review / listening studios that many can not afford.
When I noticed the BHK300 in his videos. On a dolly indeed, not in his IKEA Kalax rack. I was also wondering which speakers he would pair and if he is doing it in his town-apartment.
The BHK300 will certainly sound really good in large rooms with IRS 5 sized speakers or indeed Focal Utopia sized speakers.
John Darko‘s systems are about attractive looking really good sounding solutions that allow you to keep your apartment a living space.
It would however not surprise me if John Darko does it for the very same reasons above. Such a big system is in so much contrast to what he has been showing and promoting till date and he doesn’t seem a narrow minded person to me.
So let’s see what is going to happen.
