Florian vs. RGA

[Florian]

By the way i bet all of you do not even know why i write this.

This is the ORIGNAL post from RGA that i call a lie. He states false frequency response measurments and more.

And the Duetta was not one of their big bass models -- expect no better than 40hz for that model with any kind of real driving prowess. Also expect a rather beamy sound a brightish upper midbass lower treble sound with plenty of sizzle. And they were also noted to suffer numerous failures so be prepared to start spending big money constantly repairing them. Overpriced loudspeakers with poor construction quality tend to go out of business -- and gee they did.

FYI, Flo its more about your tone than your speakers or your money. It's not necessarily a snob issue. Many of us have plenty of money too, but also mortgages, kids, jobs, and cars, and saving for retirement. I really like my stereo, but I'm just never going to spend more than one mortgage payment on a pair. What you accuse RGA of simply isn't that bad. Here's an example: "My 8" velodyne plays to 20hz. It is the best subwoofer ever. None of you know subwoofers. This one is different and special because it is mine." See I made a false statement, yet the world still turns.

But to your credit you have been encouraging beginning systems in the photo gallery.

RGA; you were trolling for Florian plain and simple. Stop it. If people want to talk about Apogee speakers, (and in case you weren't looking it was el grande enchilada who opened the thread) then let them talk.

Florian; Don't you see that RGA was playing you like a violin? You did EXACTLY what he thought you would do. Time to take a step back and cool off. Perhaps you should also read some of the comments from the regulars too, your people skills need some work.

My people skills are generally very good exept 2 people so far. If he stops ever mentioning planars then i will stop about his box. I recommend a word stop about planars for RGA and a AudioNote stop for me.

Best way to stop the box and planars problem is they should have a thread only for these speaker title ESL,Planars,Alternative speaker like this it would be better for all of us .The ones that have knowledge could share their input.As for Florian none of us have a cartoon offending your speakers like you have insulting boxes.This is getting so childish .

[Florian]

HAHAH, i have offended all boxes. Funny how blind some people are. I always name my fav. box speakers. Thiel CS3.6, Genesis V, Avalon Eidolon Diamond and the Kharma 3.2fe, Infinity Epsilon, Infinity IRS 4.5 and IRS 5.....but you guys dont even read my threads as noted above.

To Topspeed: Because there is no limit, lighter drive units and a stronger magnetic field alow me to use tubes in my system and push the envelope further.

-Flo

PS: Its a good idea to make a dedicated section.

I don't feel offended. But I do keep bumping into things.

Sorry I can't join in on the argument. (I like both boxes and planners) But this is the only thread with any action.

Where the heck is everyone?

[Florian]

Also i OWN 3 boxes. One VMPS RM30 (6500$ fully loaded) and a 2700$ VMPS 626 fully loaded and a Focal JmLab SW900 subwoofer. Also own .5's Maggies and the DIVAS. But sure, i hate all the boxes. The difference is, i own them and know what they can and cant do and write about it, not some 10 minute listening session.

Flo I was talking about the cartoon.I also read your treads and yes they should have a dedicated section .On the diyAudio forum its seperated from the loodspeakers and benefit all of us .There the people with their knowledge share them with others that want to learn.
