My $725 Stereo.

Oh no, you see, I never asked you to give me THE definition. I asked you to give me YOUR definition. See the difference? Let me help you with this. I know THE definition. I was just hoping to find out what your twisted definition was. And I was looking for natural, not accurate. Natural as it applies to music. Give it another shot.

I was using the word the way everyone else uses it. In this context the word 'natural' roughly means what you would expect. For example: "that statue looks very natural." Nothing sneaky or twisted going on here. I'm honestly surprised we're even arguing about this. If I heard someone say something sounded natural I would know what they meant, and I certainly wouldn't demand a definition.

Here's a little dialog to help you understand why we shouldn't be having this conversation.

Me: I really like that statue of Amar Bose; it looks very natural.

Statueophile: Nothing about Amar Bose was natural, and by making such a statement I presume you went and looked at every statue ever made?

Me: No, but I've been using my eyes for 31 years, I think I know natural when I see it, and that statue, well, looks pretty natural to me.

Statueophile: define 'natural.'


I hope now you see why this conversation should have never taken place. So lets just go ahead and end it now, before it makes the world a worse place.

I get it. You did not attend GMichael's troll class but you did attend RGA's last word at all costs class.

Are you sure that you aren't Lexmark? You skip over the facts and go straight for the insults. Try decalf. It's almost as good. Really.

No, no...

He graduated, although this is such a lame troll that he clearly did so without honors.

Hey JohnMichael,

What do you think? Should I keep feeding the new troll? It was getting a little borring without Lex, spanky & soundideas around.

[GMichael]

No, no...

Not from my class. Someone else must be teaching advanced trolling. Sure did make me laugh though. Oh, the good ol' days. "I have three speakers. Can you tell me which one tastes the best?"

[emorphien]

Congrats on your new system. I'm sure you listened to some other speaker options before discovering the 901s and their supriority. All that matters is you enjoy what you listen to, and that you continue to do so.

I've only heard the 901s a few times, they won't find a home with me but they don't deserve as bad a reputation as the name Bose gets them. I can't say they're great, but they're not horrible and it sounds like you paid a fair price for what they are.

[Florian]

Some things I get ,some things I dont want to get !BTW stop Mooning

BTW, stop writing useless stuff

[PAT.P]

Huh? That wasn't aimed at you. Sorry if you got hit with a stray.

I feel so used!

Flo, you could have just asked for a hug.

[JohnMichael]

Hey JohnMichael,

Feed away. We need some excitement from time to time.

[JohnMichael]

Hey speak for yourself. Some of us enjoy a tall, 23 year old young man showing his bum every now and again.

[GMichael]

I think he ran away. Maybe he'll come back after dark. Try not to make any sudden movements.

Flo! If you drop the soap, don't bend over to pick it up. Just trying to help.

Sorry I can't entertain you as much as you would like. I'm usually very busy during the day.

BTW, I showed this thread to several of my colleges/classmates in the physics department. I told them it was an example of what happens to people who express a liking for a pair of Bose speaks on an audiophile forum. The reactions were pretty good. So far I've showed this to 4 American physics grad students and a Chinese post doc. The grad students all basically said something like "Audiophiles are insane!" he he. The post doc, however, was (still is) very confused. He said "but Bose makes good speakers" and we tried to tell him about how you can't be cool unless you hate what everyone else likes, and about the counter culture and "lets all be different -- together." But I'm afraid he still doesn't understand. Then we type 'audiophiles are insane' into google and got almost 24,000 hits. I'm not sure if this helped or not, but right now my ribs hurt from laughing so much, and I'm supposed to be writing a paper. Ok, back to work.

It doesn't take an audiophile to be less than enthused with Bose's products. And it doesn't take some magic abuse of physics either.

[markw]

I don't think it's physics that this guy and his friends are abusing. Actually, I doubt there were any friends and he's doing the abusing all alone.

I think you may be right about audiophiles being insane. Mostly. But I'm not an audiophile. Just an average music lover. Did you forget about me owning a Bose stereo? I really do like it too.

We all know that Flo wont bend for a bar of soap ,he does'nt like anything that looks like a "Box". But for bait, he does like ribbon

Wow what a difference that is, my point remains valid. I said something nice and get attacked. I bet you all feel good now. Enjoy!
