    There's a lot of people on web forums who respond rudely, insulting the question, the poster, or the poster's gear and and ideas in a way they wouldn't if asked face-to-face. It's common to see people put up this preliminary shield to defend themselves from these people. Not a big deal, really.

    I think it is a big deal, only for the unfortunate fact that everything else you said is true.

    I've been asking myself the same question. I think alot of people are looking for validation. It's like this, people do dumb/wrong/illegal things everyday even though they know its dumb/wrong/illegal, they just want to know how dumb/wrong/illegal it is before they do it. Then, knowing precisely how dumb/wrong/illegal it is, they do it anyway.

    That, and they're just trolls that don't know how to lurk for a little while before jumping into the conversation.

    The world of audio equipment is very emotional and subjective.

    There is no consensus on what sounds good and what does not.

    Many will judge equipment sound quality by the label on the front panel or the pricetag. Even before listening to the equipment.

    What I find amusing is that during blind A/B tests, most cannot tell the difference.

    What I also find fascinating, is that many people begin experiencing considerable loss of hearing perception beginning in their early 30s. With the iPod proliferation, you may see hearing degradation in our youth begininning sooner. My ENT physician told me many of her patients cannot even perceive sound above 15khz let alone judge its quality.

    I don't like this thread so I'm not going to reply.

    People will be people. Humans are very strange creatures with many faults that defy explanation. That's why I'm glad not to be a member.

    Some people don't want to hear from people who disagree with them. Others feel that they are avoiding a fight but excluding the "others."

    Oh no! I replied! What's up with that?

    Thanks for sharing your opinions. I think that i am a straight forward person and speak my mind freely. You are all agreeing partly with the one problem i adressed here many times. The "audioreview standard package" is Paradigm, B&W, Axiom etc... and as soon as one person goes against the mass recomendation they get called an arrogant jerk.

    I would much rather get an opinion from a person who has a strong believe then a typical standard reply which is often made by those members who enjoy a celebrity style online life.

    So how did I do? I've never listened to any Paradigm, B&W, or Axioms. But I would like to. And the B&W DVD they sent me was way cool. It even sounded great on my lil' Infinity's.

    I have one strong belief. That is that no hobby is worth loosing sleep over. That I'd rather joke around and be called a fool than to get upset about everything and feel like a fool for not enjoying myself.

    I know that we have different priorities as far as sound equipment. But we have fun anyhow. Hope we can keep swapping jokes.

    Priorities and personal taste are all fine, and will not keep us from joking around ;-) As long as the facts remain facts and the faults are not drawn into pretty little pictures which serves as a baby cradle for those with no own way.

    Are not those brands the ones 98% of us can afford? Are not those brands easier to find then more costly brands? I would'nt go into a forum with anything most dont have. Kinda like being an outcast.

    And I thought the point of this Forum is to share experiences, have fun, give advice and help other members and learn about other members systems. Am I wrong?
    Who wants to be part of the masses (98%) voluntarely anyway? How boring, pointless and mind numbing would this be if we only talk about the most popular best buy brands. Wide varied opinions is what makes this interesting. And it's almost certain that there are those who live an on-line celebrity lifestyle when in reality.................,well you know.

    Peace
