speaker size selection

[ThreeDHomer]

I think he is winding you all up.

try to find an old pair of Panasonic "Thrusters". Then again, Consumer Reports always liked the Pioneer speakers, and thought very highly of Technics. Then again, Aldo may be right since the new Sonys have those cool plastic "kevlar looking" cones and those 50kHz polycarb tweets. Your Paradigms don't have either of them.

Hey, and don't even try to tell me that your box, drivers, or crossover are better in your Paradigms, since they aren't as big as what you can get with a Sony at a fraction of the price. Who does Paradigm think they are anyway. Sony sells more receivers than anybody and given that, would have to know more about speakers than anyone else, wouldn't you say. Don't have an answer to that....do you.

And you told me you really knew something about audio. I feel so betrayed. I TRUSTED YOU, and you led me down the wrong path....you, you, booger eatin' moron.

Hey Wooch, seriously, remember, somebody has to make the top 80% possible.

The last 11 post in this thread have been about NOTHING! This forum is for discussion of audio equipement, etc...not about *****ing and whining! Everyone is offering very bold opinions/suggestions without any concrete evidence in support.

spacedeckman: you wrote that "Sony sells more recievers than anybody"...but where did you get that info? Is it an opinion or fact? Then you state that becuase Sony sells lots of recievers they must make great speakers. That is the dumbest statement I have read on this website. Based on that comment, I should assume that companies like B&W, Paradigm, Vandersteen, and all the others that do not sell recievers sell poorly designed speakers?

If you do not have anything of value to add to a thread, go post your bs somewhere else!

Yes, this forum is for discussion of audio equipment -- and sometimes that includes challenging bad advice and exposing trolls. However, even in attempting to do just that, none of us felt it necessary to be as rude and ungracious as you were in this last post. If this is all you have to add, feel free to take your own advice and post somewhere else... Haldo or Aldo or whoever you really are.

Well, you can always stop at the door and ask for your money back.

Your problem seems to be one of discernment. Had you bothered to read other threads in this forum before jumping in with your own request, you might have some idea who among us are really trying to help and who are posers. Actually, you might find that your question had been asked and answered several times over.

And, to expect all who do try to help to not have fun while doing so is quite arrogant of you.

Hope you got the info you needed.

Oh, I hate it when secrets get aired out in the open like this! You caught me in the lie, dude! Every bit of advice that I give on this board is another expression of my male insecurity. I might as well admit which car I drive and what blue pills I take with my vitamins.

Yeah, I thought you were a compadre too, somebody who could at least keep a secret and keep this whole audio-industrial complex spinning on the board. Keep the cycle of upgrades going, deem less expensive equipment inadequate for audio nirvana, and forcibly dehumanize all dissenting perspectives. That was our modus operandi, remember? You might come to realize the error of your ways, but you've knocked our whole house of cards over in the meantime! Oh well, at least we still got our mini systems to keep us warm at night!

P.S. Boogers are an underrated delicacy, so don't knock 'til you try it!

[spacedeckman]

I cannot follow that with anything I could ever deem "worthy". You are the Master.

And to the previous ingrate who questioned the Sony receiver thing, Yes, Sony sells MORE receivers than anyone in the industry, from fairly recent industry numbers. Yamaha actually sells more $$ in receivers, but sell at a higher average price point. Between the two, you have effectively taken out nearly 50% of the receiver market. The speaker thing...joke...Clark caught on, and Quagmire, and Wooch. Sony sells speakers because they force dealers to buy them to move up on the TV food chain. You want hot TVs, you buy more stuff...hey, need speakers? They are horrible. Pioneer speakers are horrible, but Consumer Reports always loved them. Technics speakers are horrible, but CR loved them too. Many people try to "match" brands of speakers and electronics...that is usually a bad idea.

I don't waste a lot of bandwidth on humor, but, Wooch's comebacks are golden. Hey, my compact system just shut down...ahhh, crap, I just scratched another BeeGees record...where's that Leif Garrett when you need it. Nevermind....Bay City Rollers...just need to reset...ahhh....heaven....

Don't you know that Shaun Cassidy's where it's at? Y'know with that b*tchin song that he wrote -- da doo run run run da doo run run. Sheesh! Sounds to me like someone got one too many songs on your gnarly 8-track caught in the middle of a program change.

Oh well, stick with your compact system and be happy with it, what do I care. I recently retired my trusty Mickey Mouse phonograph, and am now using a megacool record changer with a totally rad 10 LP capacity spindle. I'll bet that when your system has that many records stacked up, they drop two or three at a time -- go ahead and hate me! Now, excuse me but my Andy Gibb record just started skipping... ththththththtenightthenightthenight .. shshshshshadowdandandancinginging...
