  Connoisseur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Connoisseurs evaluate works of art on the basis of aesthetic conclusions.
During the 18th century, however, the term was often used as a synonym for a still vaguer man of taste or a pretended critic.
In 1890, Giovanni Morelli wrote, "art connoisseurs say of art historians that they write about what they do not understand; art historians, on their side, disparage the connoisseurs, and only look upon them as the drudges who collect materials for them, but who personally have not the slightest knowledge of the physiology of art."

Most of the speakers in the Connoisseur line are also available in a much nicer Canadian Maple finish that reviewer Brian Kahn found to be very much to his liking when he reviewed the smaller C-5 as a stereo system.
All of the speakers in the Connoisseur line have MDF (medium density fiberboard) enclosures and standard spade-type plugs on the rear for easy installation of most types of speaker cables.

 The Connoisseur
A London weekly paper chiefly run by George Colman[?] and Bonnell Thornton[?] as a 'plebeian' counterpart to Edward Moore[?]'s The World, a periodical of about the same time, which dealt more with the interests of aristocrats.
James Boswell says in his Life of Johnson, "I mentioned the periodical paper called 'THE CONNOISSEUR'.
But surely it has just views of the surface of life, and a very sprightly manner.

Dan doesn't want his real name revealed because growing is illegal, but among non-growing pot connoisseurs, there is a surprising willingness to speak on the record.
As with the importance of terroir in viticulture, pot connoisseurs care deeply about how their bud is grown.
Dan, the Vancouver grower, explains that "hormonal and enzyme additives affect the taste, and it doesn't burn properly." Once Dan made the mistake of applying too much of a certain additive and the entire crop turned into a kind of non-burning "fire retardant." "A lot of people are growing B pot," he says.

 The Metropolitan Museum of Art - Works of Art: Drawings and Prints
Daumier often pictured the broad spectrum of enthusiasts attending exhibitions or visiting artists' studios; here he portrayed the model connoisseur engaged in the rapt contemplation of his collection.
The special object of this collector's appreciation is a tabletop replica of the Venus de Milo, the monumental Greek marble that came to symbolize the beauty of antique art upon its installation in the Louvre in 1821.
As if aware of the admiration directed toward her (by the sculpted and painted men in the room as well as by the connoisseur), the statuette returns the collector's gaze, somewhat impudently, it seems, and with exaggerated body torsion—which was modified in the original sculpture when its upper and lower parts were readjusted in 1871.

 The Hindu : Magazine / Arts & Crafts : Connoisseur of the inexplicable
In `The Signal', a figure waves a semaphore, isolated against the vastness, the impersonal beauty and glorious indifference of the natural world.
Bowes has become a connoisseur of the inexplicable: that which can be expressed, but not readily explained.
In what may be thought of as an act of homage to Carroll and Magritte, titled "I dreamt the cat was swimming", she deploys a figure that is part feline and part human; the title, written across the picture surface, renders the occasion hallucinatory.

 The Connoisseur
What I probably feel guilty about the most was that I took him to be a simple man just because he didn't have any refined tastes.
Now I think he was a connoisseur of sorts after all—a connoisseur of people—because it dawned on me that none of his tastes in mass-produced music, food, entertainment or vacation spots were designed to satisfy him, but to provide some kind of common ground between him and somebody else.
So I bring a bottle of Budweiser with me when I go to his grave, drink half of it while talking out loud about anything I can think of, and leave the rest of it next to the flowers to go flat.

 MediaPost Publications - Golf Connoisseur - 10/18/2006
Golf Connoisseur, a glossy bimonthly, uses golf as a pretext--it's a springboard into a general-interest magazine.
It's described as a "street-legal showpiece that performs, eliciting a neck-snapping reaction as it cruises down Main Street." My guess: the whiplash is caused by the noise from this mastodon, coupled with the shock that, judging from the bike's paint job, the '50s are back.
But here's the kicker: Though the "stories" are slugged in the "Connoisseur's Club" section, they read suspiciously like advertorials.
