Problems with moderating/moderators

[Florian]

To Wooch: You know i dont read your posts and neither do the ones i get along with.


To SirT:

I did add myself to the list ;-)

I never said that i equate performance for money and i also wrote many times that there are box speakers i like and there are also planar speaker i dislike. The problem for me lies in this sentence

Nobody is in a different league than anyone. We are all equals here with varying degrees of knowledge.

This is simply untrue! A AtmaSphere setup on Soundlabs, Acustats big Horns or whatever speaker is in a different league then a Paradigm Ref. 40 on a Yamaha Receiver. Is it fair to compare? No! But do members with Paradigms, Yamahas argue about sound quality with members of lets say Dunlavy SCV or Wilsons ? Yes!

Maybe they dont argue over the brands i mentioned, but 400$ system owners aregue with 10000$ system owners. And that is silly, so different leauges do exist. They could coexist just fine, but they dont because the high leaguge wont accept crap talk from low league people. (Like me not accepting Woochs point on planars because he doesnt understand/own them, let alone gets the difference between their technologys).

Knowledge is great and i never claim to be all knowing, nor do i claim that ribbons, electrostatics etc.. are superior to all speakers. I believe they are, and in my opinion all boxes are colored. Because you have the box and the driver is acoustically transparents. But is it a fact? No! But its my opinion and i am sticking to it!

I like some Horns, i like some Ribbons, I like some Dynamic Systems but i dont let opinions stand that judge a technology that they dont own, afford or have any experience with besides 15 minutes in a showroom.

PS: And this is a friendly post, same as the last ones. Sorry if ir reads negatively. I am simply expressing my opinion! I have nothing personal against SirT or others. I just dont agree with their opinion sometimes.
