Things are too quiet around here. Florian hasn't been here for a rant in several days now.

This ought to stir things up a little:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audiophile

Whaddya think? If nothing else, it's got some good links in it.

There are various points one could take issue with, but overall it's great. I mean, consider how much insight it provides to the non-audiophile into the audiophile character.

Of course, not all audiophiles show all the symptoms but that doesn't negate the general validity of the article.

Well they take the guy from TAS so the whole article failed right there. They are all in a big marketing busride and have been taken along for a good old time. I say **** the system! ;-) If there is a guy who needs to buy into **** articles and believes the new speakers are better then so be it, for me its glory or nothing. I do what i want and i get what i want and say what i want :-) Ranitngs are a expression of boredom and a attack on the masses which i cant stand and those that feel special since they are one of ten million. LOL

PS: You know what i really love doing, standing in the middle of the city on the same spot all day and have all the poor sobs walking buy doing the same thing day in day out and feeding the beast. Only in the streets of NY or Munich or other big citys do you realize how pointless your life is and why you shouldnt care what some IP adress says across the global network.

Market driven oppinions. Not always wrong, but far from always right.

But it has been slow lately. Flo, you didn't even join my 2000th post link. What's up with that?

Rant on dude!

Interesting. I've never researched wikipedia before, but it reads much better than I remember the old encyclopedia's I used to study from. Good article Mike, one that touches a lot of bases without getting bogged down. I liked it :).

You put a smile on my face :D! Mike was right, it's been a little slow around here.

I am not saying the consum direction is right or wrong but i am saying that 99% of the idiots out there only follow them because they are too dumb to realise the scams and need others and depend on . Asking a bunch of dumb ass questions on how the speaker sounds. Listen for yourself, listen to a 10K panel speaker and if it sucks then it sucks! Period. But people are always so ****ing polite and licking the ass and oooo man how many times do we see that on the forum a day? 1000 times at least.


Anyway i dont wanna ruin this thread but to answere your question, i was away for the week teaching morons how to install 2000 and 2003 active directory based servers in english. Those people get the course paid by the goverment because they smoke 20 ****ing packs of cigarettes a day and cant do their job anymore so they decided to install and administrate networks (Half of these pea brain idiots cant even install a ****ing server when all it requires is the pressing of 5 buttons. They feel like cracks because they can download illegal porno and burn it on a disc .****ing pathetic.!!. ****ing scam, the course cost over 2 thousand dollars a week! And its the typical system, its all those theoretical well read idiots. No experiece. Just like with speakers, they cant even ****ing spell panel speakers but talk **** and then run home to a bloddy canadian box with a Receiver from Japan that cost 50 bucks to make. LOL....man this world is idiotic its unbelieveable.

I really wish a UFO or some **** whacks 90% of this population and bombs us back to the stone age. Destroy all, my hobby those damn computers and electricity so that i dont have to spend another 2000 bucks on a crossover to visualize a piano in my room when i could use that money to see a 100 concerts for real. Damn human kind is ****ing stupid.

Anyways where is your post?

Now that's a big happy face!

Here's the plan. We spend a couple hours listening to music. Let's do it at your place. Love them towers/wall dividers of yours. A few brews, a couple of cigs of the "finer tobaco", then a ride to find some babes. Bring them back for more music, brew & cigs. Then let nature take it's coarse. You'll feel better by morning.

Well, let's see. You're a tallish guy. Let's get you one 6' redhead, a 5'8" blonde and a 5'6" brunette. Start with the brunette, then work your way up to red. After you get there you can mix and match the rest.

Hey, what can I say? You worship great sound. I worship great ....!

I had a 6ft tall redhat in the US and in Canada but think that their qualities, at least this particular one was not as good. But then again the rest was great :D I am a Brunette kind of guy tough.

Me too. But what the heck. They're like speakers. You have to listen to them all before you know which ones you like best.
