It's the difference of opinion that is the life blood of any forum. You all would be bored to tears to read only posts extolling the virtues of sand amps. The main reason we participate in forums is to learn about things we may not know or have not considered. I would never have learned about SETs, full range drivers or open baffles had it not been for other forums. To relate a bad experience with a solid state amp can be educational but of course you can choose to take it as a slam on your own solid state gear.

Expressing one's passion over something they believe is hardly bullying. It's working for me over at AK. After posting my 3 way OB plans my PM box is filled everyday with questions from members regarding their duplicate builds. Nothing is more exciting than to discover something great, share it with others and then see them experience the same joy you've had. If I've saved them a ton of cash in the process with better results that's just another plus.
