Its just not appropriate to gang up on anybody.What are we showing ,what are we teaching ?

Good one! :D
I chose "C: All Of The Above"

I'd rather be arrogant with incredible equipment and sound then you poor sobs listening to tiny Paradigms, B&W's etc....go ahead and give me the award it only further deepens the zero respect i have for you guys.
I stick to all what i have said, for me your a bunch of envious fools who are too weak to be a stand alone character and need the herd to feel good about yourselfs.

I'd rather be a normal guy instead of a douchebag like you who thinks you are holier-than-thou because of your audio equipment. You still live at home right? And how old are you?

I wish i was a arrogant Texan who studies on his parents money too. HAHA go suck a lemon. The people know that i dont care about the price of audio equipment, i judge people based on their knowledge and you fail in that on the areas that interest me.

No, i go to work 5 days a week :)
Anyway, the simple fact that you get so fumed up over a simple thread like this just proves my point :)

Kind of a pointless barb considering that you're already out of school, and still live with your parents.

Easy not to care about the price tag, if you got someone else paying the bills at home. Talk to us in a few years about not caring about the price of audio when you have a life.

No, you equate knowledge with what people own, and that's an pretty dumb criteria considering how many self-proclaimed audiophiles out there dump tons of money into their systems without a clue as to how it all fits together or how it impacts on sound quality.

WTF? Florian still lives at home? Man, do you know all the speakers and amps I could buy if I sold my house and moved back home? (not to mention mom's cookin').
-
I hate it when my family fights like this.

Florian pulls ahead with..... 2345678 votes?????????????????

Ahh, but how long would you be able to hold onto that pretty new bride of yours while living in such close proximity to her mother-in-law? :D

Thanks for thanking me but, I didn't vote.

This is damn depressing. A 22 y/o beats me out for most arrogant. I just knew I would be in this one, I just knew it!! I guess I am going to have to be more terrible than Florian. At home at 22 y/o?? I was already paying a mortgage by then. You are more lucky than you know, or unlucky I don't know which....

My 17 year old nephew would beat you all out. If you look up arrogant in the dictionary you will see his picture with his middle finger up and a caption of, "Who the f.k are you looking at A. H.!

What an amazing, and hilarious thread! I haven't spent enough time around here yet to come to a definite conclusion, but based on what I've read here, I'd certainly cast my vote also for florian. "Pompous" doesn't even scratch the surface...
Now, if this question were posted over at AK, the overwhelming choice would have been, ME. I guess that's why they kicked me off. Some of us (me) just never learn, do we?

Well in germany, its not uncommon to be at home with 22 considering we have 54% income tac, insane renting, food, electricity and gas prices which are now even higher thanks to the all and mighty country in the world, which gets my vote for most arrogant. LOL .....anywho...my real friends know i am not arrogant. I love forums tough, you usually get a group of lamers with envy eyes and they gang up. Funny tough!--
Keep em going

We are just sooo misunderstood.

LOL its not our fault you guys are socialist. And that's coming from someone who's family lives in germany.

Imagine how dull the audioreview would be without all the differences in life styles, equipment choices and levels of emotional stability.

Nope...

Well, in fairness I dream of your systems too. Freud doesn't have anything to say about this does he?

Excuses, excuses, excuses. Talk to us when actually have a life. (Living vicariously through your audio system does not count.) Nothing unusual about college grads moving back in with the parents, but most of us who did also SAVED our money so that we could MOVE OUT as soon as possible! It's so comical reading your claims about hard you have to work and how you don't have much money, yet here you are constantly dumping every last euro into your audio system.
Fact of the matter is that if you actually had to foot the bill for your own living expenses, you sure as hell wouldn't be on this forum bragging about how much you spend on your audio system (yet crying poverty all the time) and how price is no object (yet claiming that you're not rich and have to work oh so hard for everything) and how we're all jealous (yet no one gives a rat's ass about your system as much as you like to shove it in everyone's face on post after post), blah blah blah. No shame in living at home, but it's pretty disingenuous for you to bash people for living on a budget and balancing their financial priorities when you've never had to.
Interesting that you would keep commenting about how people gang up on you. No one's ganging up on you. YOU bring everything upon yourself with your constant rants, personal attacks, lies, schoolboy attitude (and oldman's cynicism), and crybaby whining. If you don't understand that by now, then you got nobody to blame but yourself. The reaction that your posts attract is not only expected, but you seem to want any kind of attention, regardless of whether it's negative. Then again, the immaturity espoused in your posts is more indicative of a constant need to be the center of attention.
But, PLEASE don't go away! With Lexmark3200 now banned from the site, the perspective of life from the parents' basement is sadly lacking on this board. And the comic relief that your all too predictable pimping for attention brings to the board just makes our day! :D

1 month later and you come to open the thread again go figure.Guess you were missing the attention at home?Must be nice to have no responsibility and to be pamper ?

I agree with you on that "there is no reason hi-fi must equal hi-priced". For me, I work really hard, and when I hear something I think can improve my enjoyment and I can afford it after all the other expenses have been taken care off-I buy it. I make no apologies for it. I do think that pride of ownership also comes into it.
For instance I am not into cars at all. I drive a 12 year old 4WD and it does the job. I know that a Range Rover will provide more of everything and will give me pride of ownership. But I don't seek it for 4 wheels.
Peace
Bernd

High Price does not equal High Sound Quality. Please quote me where i made this statemnet untrue? But the fact remains, a 5000$ speaker system (regardless of brand) will never touch a State of the Art system in no area, whatsoever. And its cool that some like their Paradigm and Yamah equipment, but to even mention it in the same ballpark as the likes of true High Fifelity is a sin.
I work hard and listen to music at least 9hrs a day!
Do i need to justify myself for having a mega buck system?
