It is high flow vs low flow. The thing is that the opening post starts out asking us why doesn't the USA do things the German way, which is quiet and low-flow, small and compact, and all fits neatly into a mid-tower sized case.
So it's also a traditional German (low-flow, neat, small, quiet, compact) vs USA (high-flow, not-so-neat, not-so-small, not-so-quiet, not-so-compact) comparison.
It all got murkified when someone decided to "prove it" to us by putting up effectively a USA-methodology kit, made from German (and some USA-originated) components, and then attempted to say that this typified the "new German" way of doing things, and thereby hijacking the original intent of the thread.
Problem is that said person wants to confuse matters further by effectively saying: "I represent German components which are small, compact, quiet, and low-flow, and just as good, if not better, than any USA system. Oh, and please overlook that I just assembled a kit to prove my point that
doesn't have
any of those characteristics".
