As a huge member on this forum i would certainly expect of you that you do have the knowledge and expertise with those so called "planars" that you can make such bold statments.

Kind regards

Okay, so my statement applies to THE PLANARS THAT I'VE HEARD over the years. I've yet to find one that does as good a job with amplified instrumentation as it does with acoustic ones. That includes Magnepan, Quad, Acoustat, Carver, Innersound, Martin Logan, and Apogee (the Duetta and Full Range) as well. I've heard them, and never felt compelled to buy any of them. Why? Because they don't fit my listening preferences!

I'm not telling anyone not to listen to planars, quite the contrary, I encourage people to try them out for themselves. Note that before that quote, I said "You might want to give those alternative approaches a listen." And afterwards, I said "Conversely, the speakers that work for me might not register with others." What's so objectionable about telling someone to explore different speaker designs for themselves? I guess pulling a quote out of context is more convenient to suit your strawman argument than considering the totality of what I was actually saying.

So, given that you're calling me out for making a blanket statement about planars, I assume that you've NEVER made any blanket statements about box speakers? I guess you've never heard that caveat about throwing stones while living in a glass house, eh?
