    But then my computer would explode. Perhaps there's an AN antivirus software?

    HAHA, thats funny! You could write a script that will chnage the word Audionote to a blank or replace it with a picture.

    Who cares, there are companys that build 25 year old speakers and still hold the world reference titles. There are speakers even less known than AN and to my ears are better. I recommend what i like and heard. The trouble that some users see know (after i left) is that your basic recomendation is always AN And the endless writing.

    You seem to have the same trouble of accepting that some people dont give a rats ass about AN then i have accepting that someone can talk trash about planar speakers.

    I'll think about AN (speakers) once they reach the realm of Genesis, Alon, Apogee, Odeon, MG20.1, Avalon and some others

    Mr. Corey Greenberg
    Mr Robert Harley
    Martin Colloms, Ken Kessler(owns 2) & John Atkinson
    ANTHONY H. CORDESMAN

    to name a few. All of which have systems in a higher realm than those who review a mdf box with a 2000$ amp

    As a moderator you should know that this is a place where people ask for advice -- don't like my advice don't take it.

    The tiotle of this thread was "Where's RGA? Audio Note Japan..."

    Not "where is Geoffcin" and why is he even posting to this thread. Obviously you cared enough to see what was happening in this thread -- as are many judging by the numbers of views. At least Audio Note is currently making NEW production speakers - uunlike some other recommendations by some other posters.
    People like me don't dump. We hold it in until the right thread comes along....like this one!

    People ask for advice here? No kidding! To bad this thread got hijacked. Oh well, at least it didn't get hijacked by Audio Note inanity for once.

    Yes, Geoffcin is a caring guy, why else would I post to this thread? As the hit count increases I am sure that people are really interested to see how much more I can care.
    I'm sorry to have to let them all down, as I don't care that much anymore.

    Your funny! Those Maggies beat the living crap out of your AudioNote in every single regard. Why don't you see that most people on this site do not care for AN?

    Never mind, i am gettig stressed again. Someday your ears may open

CORDESMAN Okay show me where they say your speaker is world reference title holder -- see there can only be one. And thanks I've heard the 3.6 -- please. John Atkinson loves crappy B&W 705's so you won't get much mileage posting his views -- if he can be so wrong about that piece of unmitigated caca then what makes you think he'd be right about anything else -- After all YOU hate B&W.
    I am sorry, but your a tad strange. How can you say that because he reviewed a 700$ speaker from B&W and gave it a rating you do not agree on that he is not qualityfied to review a system costing 20 times that much. I bet if i look at the AN reviews that the people reviewd **** speakers well too, which would in return make all your AN reviews absolutly worthless.

    Here are some quotes for you. It doesnt matter to me what you think, because i know the truth and pretty much everyone on this site agrees at least on one thing. You and your AN advertisings are getting tired, same as me.

    This is turning into the same old BS threads as always. But i have one advantage, the systems i recomend are the known best systems along with others but they surely are not a AN.

    The Apogee Diva is a superb speaker system. Like the Infinity IRS Series V and Duntech Sovereign 2001, it is a demonstration that the rich really are different from you and me. They can afford one hell of a lot better speakers!
    Nevertheless, the Apogee Divas are currently my personal best.
    The search is over. Congratulations, Apogee! As far as I'm concerned, the Diva is a clear-cut Class A component. The vacancy in this prestigious position of the Recommended Components listing for loudspeakers has been too conspicuous too long. I hope that the guiding forces at Stereophile see it my way and, as Aretha Franklin - another Diva-would sing, "second this emotion."
    "The Best Sound at the Show: a group of one I've saved the best for last. Because while there were several really fine-sounding rooms at the Chicago CES, one speaker stood out so far away from the rest of the pack that it redefined my expectations of what can be achieved in the art of sound reproduction. I've heard great-sounding systems and I've heard GREAT-sounding systems, but I've never heard anything even 'remotely' as good as the demonstration of the new $60,000 Apogee Grand speaker system. Not even close.
    The Grand is, in my opinion, a stunning breakthrough in loudspeaker design. Even in a less than optimum listening position, the beauty and majesty of this remarkable loudspeaker were unmistakable. Driven by eight Krell MDA-300s, Krell MD-1 transport, and Krell SBP-64x, the Grand produced the best recorded sound I've ever experienced.
    But, no one can ignore the effort required, the 53500 price tag, the difficulty in getting a good dealer demonstration, the room requirements, and the possible need for new amplifiers. The Scintillas really do push the state of the art!
    The Apogee Scintilla is the Ferrari Testarossa of loudspeakers: I'm sure that one day I shall own both.
    Once AN compares to these, we can talk.
