That's blatantly false. Prove it with unbiased support for your claim. The Europas are one of the most neutral speakers I have heard at ANY price. Key words: "I have heard" coming from the designer of self-same speakers. Because you have no Christian morals, Krueger, you have no problem perpetuating blatant falsehoods. Ironic Singh, coming from a person with no discernable ethics of *any* kind. |

Bob Morion's been firing up the crack pipe again.

trotsky wrote: Yes, he actually designs speakers. You do not. You threw a couple Chinese drivers in a box, and pronounced yourself lucky. Sure, because I'm honest. No you are not. At least not with yourself. So I figure you're Larry, Bob is Moe, and Mickey is Curly. Do you agree? Speakers are very much like guitars or violins - you cannot slap something together and get great sound. How does "great sound" equate to "stomp"? Not as a first time builder. I've never seen it done. There's a reason people are apprentices to master craftsmen for years before building such insturments. And let's not forget the telescopes. If you're peeping through celebrities' windows do you refer to it as "gazing at the stars"? As they say, the devil's in the details. Little things like custom crossovers(every design requires tweaking here - no exceptions), You're right about one thing: the devil *is* in the details. For example, you seem to have glossed over the detail of what experience you have in this area. I claim that you have none. baffles and internal bracing(huge with a speaker if you want the port to do anything other than "chuff" at you) You've bought into marketing hype, Joseph, or even worse, "conventional wisdom." - the specific type of material, how you mount the speakers,(you are using a proper gasket and machine screws? Let's hope you aren't just slapping it together with drywall screws) the shape of the port, and even tiny things like what exact glue and varnish(if wood) you use. What would happen if you used drywall screws--would your hair catch on fire? Also, could you explain in detail how you use machine screws in wood? (I use T-nuts for the woofers, which utilized machine screws, but I'm interested in your Three Stooges version.) The list goes on and on. If you really want to learn how to make excellent speakers then do yourself a huge favor and study and/or work at a major speaker manufacturer for a couple of years to learn some of the secrets and techniques. Mass produced speakers are part of the problem. In fact, you're contradicting yourself because in the beginning of your post you were referring to handmade "instruments." You can either slap somethig together and be Kia - fine cars but nothing special or you can learn to do it correctly and make a Honda, which is built to much higher standards in every single way. Uh oh, looks like we shifted gears to the car analogy. Don't you want to compare the process to a Tarantino script? Let me make it plain: the Europa is outstanding, in a field where the competition is somewhat fierce. So far, only your opinions. Have you actually done a side-by-side test with other speakers using other people? I've listened to more speakers than you will in your entire lifetime. But you aren't the target audience, Joseph, you're Tannoy's target audience. Why you're not saving for a pair of Joseph Audios is beyond me. The Subterfuge subwoofer is just plain the most tonally accurate subwoofer I have ever heard, at any price point. Oh - now you are really beginning to believe your own marketing. If you've only been looking at the subs you could find at Circuit City, then I could imagine that you might think that. OTOH, at your prices, there are subs what will guaranteed stomp on yours ten times over. "Stomp" doesn't exactly imply finesse, or credibility. It sounds like you're coming from a car stereo mentality. But how would you know, Greg? You've never designed a speaker. You did what a hobbyist would do on a rainy afternoon, nothing more. Oh, so it's impossible to design an exceptional sounding pair of speakers in a short amount of time? The sad fact is that it IS impossible. Too many small variables. When did you try, Joseph? Were hallucinagenic drugs involved? You also forget the fact that customer bias is present. Your speakers will have to sound noticeably BETTER for the same price as the larger companies to be seen as as viable choice. Sounds the same as their speakers won't even cut it. Afterall - your speakers or a pair of Tannoy S8 L/Rs? That's your closest mainstream competition. That specific model. There are lots of models at this price point. Street price on the S8 L/Rs is $1350. Yours better sound like Tannoy's $2000 speakers or you'll never get past that hurdle in customer's minds. All things being equal, the customer will always choose the older, established name-brand product over the generic. Your knowledge of product niches appears to be nonexistent. You prattle on and on about your "years of experience in retail" selling speakers and are blinded to this harsh fact in your haste to make money. Tannoy? Paradigm? KEF? B&W? Some guy putting speakers together? Four proven winners. One unknown new guy. I wouldn't pay money for any of those "winners". They are not good values on an absolute basis. Greg, speakers are not designed by analogy. They can be tuned by analogy. You didn't do the work. You claim you were lucky, and you're out to screw the customer. What exactly happens when I "screw the customer", Bob? Your prices are inflated like a big commercial manufacturer but are based upon your cost as a private individual. eg: $100 in parts marked up 5 times =$500 (DIYer going through a typical supply chain) $50 in parts marked up 5 times = $250 (economy of scale and buying thousands of components from the manufacturer) Same exact parts. Same exact design in this example. Because of the problem I stated above - namely, that you have to be BETTER for the money, you must price your speakers for no more than the big companies competing products *reguardless of your profit margins*. Joseph, you can't evaluate speakers without listening to them first. Your posts are repeatedly showing how stupid you are, but because you're so stupid, you can't learn from the experience. Otherwise, they will always go out and buy the simmilar sounding name brand speaker for $1000. Pure garbage. .... What you need to do We're through talking. Come back when you've grown a brain, please. |

Weiol, as if your ears have any kind of a track record for anything but insensitivity and close connection to an egocentric, befuddled brain. The funny thing is, that there are some areas that I think you are going to agree with me about... Without actually listening to the speakers I couldn't possibly agree with anybody's listening evaluation of them in a meaningful way. Right now all that I know for sure is that they are cheap, overpriced drives assembled by a known know-nothing, hear-nothing, and vastly overpriced. All this in a crowded marketplace with many equal-or-better alternatives. |

Trotsky' screws the customer with absence of design
"George M. Middius" wrote in message ... Bobo, can't you see the double yellow line in the middle of the road? There would be zero downside potential for him. If I trash the speakers, then it would be attributed toward my personal dislike of Trotsky, and be disregarded. If I don't trash them, it's a plus for him. He can't lose. "I don't think I'm going to allow that to happen." Who knows what your fevered brain would cook up once you had a pair of the speakers in your possession. Imagine the inner turmoil I would experience if I had to add the experience to the "irony" column of my journal. Or the righteous, foot-stomping glee if Trotsky's persona emerges, Princess Leila - like, from the vents. I'd take them over to my buddy Larry Zeitz, and we'd spend an evening with them. He has a pair of Bugtussel bookshelfs coming in. I have a pair of MB Quarts, European versions, which similar in size to Greg's speakers. I'd haul them over for the event. Maybe I'd even bring a pair of Spica TC-60's. OTOH, if Trotsky would like to get them to an established local retailer, I believe Larry and I would both call the retailer to state that we wish to hear the speakers. |

None of the speaker systems Nousaine evaluates professionally are likely to be discussed on RAO. The better of them are sonically superior and more accurate than the best systems owned by most RAO readers. |

Trotsky's questionable SPEAKERS -- JUPITER AUDIO
"dave weil" wrote in message ... On Wed, 24 Sep 2003 07:24:44 -0400, "Arny Krueger" wrote: If Best Buy shelf systems are included, we still have to be careful. No we don't. Well, at least *I* don't. We have an admission from Weil that he does not need to make careful comparisons. Sorry, both you and Bob lose because you didn't understand my point. It appears that we understand it too well for Weil's own good. My point is that I don't have to "be careful" including *any* speakers because I've got the speakers in house to audition. Meaningless. I have direct experience with the speakers... But Weil, we all know about your well-documented correction of substandard, outdated, and abjectly broken equipment. It speaks very poorly of your potential as a critical, accurate, insightful, unbiased reviewer. and I don't have to guess how they compare to the type of speakers that Bob is talking about. That would only be true if you had speakers on hand that were credible and had some kind of track record as a reliable sensitive listener. Weil, saying that you have equally good reasons to shaft Singh as give him a free pass does not prove that you are unbiased. It only proves that you're unstable, which we know very well from past experience with you. |

We do know that he brags about owning loudspeakers that are known to be defective and/or wildly substandard by modern standards. Do you really think that your children would be proud of you using my father's suicide against me in a discussion about speakers? Where did I say anything about your father, Weil? But since you brought up family, how many of your references to my relatively recently-deceased family member do I need to dredge up to demonstrate your hypocrisy? Oh yeah, the Army had a simple remedy for what you talk about - mandatory ear plugs. Proves nothing. Nobody can force people to properly use safety equipment like earplugs. I saw safety equipment present but routinely not used during my tour of duty. As stupid as you are Weil, you probably didn't use available ear protection to be macho. The most dangerous place you visited for a few days at a time in Germany was where I lived for a year straight. People died there pretty routinely, if death can be routine. As to the final point, I *do* own some loudspeakers that are currently not being used because they need repair. They are not being used, obviously. Look Weil, you bragged about these broken POS when questioned about your qualifications as a loudspeaker evaluator. I had to search the archives to find out how deceptive your claims are. So you get no points for having any recent in-house experience with good modern speakers, and you've lost a bundle of points for trying to deceive us all. That puts you in a deep hole, right? Arnold, your attacking me shows more about you than it does me. What it shows Weil is that you're well-known to many RAO regulars as a hypocrite and a deceiver. I just had to put you through your paces for the benefit of the newbies who might actually have their heads turned by your song-and-dance. I think you're mad because I didn't go after you while you were on your vacation. Just when I thought that you had been as low and lame as you could be Weil, you come up with something weird like this. |

Then, if he tries to defend himself, you accuse him of being a hypocrite for not letting you beat the heck out of the parts you haven't yet tried to turn into mincemeat. Let's talk about all the pedophile fantasies you've posted on RAO Singh, and try to position them in your alleged ethical value system. How does this work, Singh? Inquiring minds want to know! |

I can't imagine any reasonable lurker finding doing business with Singh an attractive option, given the reprehensible ways that he has reacted to decent and fair technical questions about his new speakers. |

dave weil said: This is akin to Mr. Krueger coming on board as saying that I'm an ideal RAO poster. This would not only be suspect, it might actually impact on *my* credibility by those who don't like Mr. Krueger's opinion on anything. I dunno. If Krooger used that exact phrase, I'd assume he was confused by the human meaning of "ideal" and was spewing a bunch of random Krooglish. |

Don't forget that he's been supportive from the beginning of trotsky's intention to build and market speakers. He put aside the vitriolic exchanges the two have had in the past. He's argued with you, Krooger, and Obie about Singh's right to do his thing. He's also wished trotsky well in the undertaking. If you were compiling a short list of the RAO regulars who have genuine cause for bearing a grudge against Singh, dave would certainly be near the top, and yet he hasn't uttered a discouraging word about the Jupiter business. So unless you think dave weil plotted out a devious strategy for getting trotsky to send him the speakers, intending all along to trash their performance, you need to rethink your analysis. And this is not an occasion calling for a snippet of "If the cameras were rolling...." fiction. |

I am inclined to believe that Weil's judgment will unintentionally give the speakers more quality than they deserve, for two reasons: 1.

Weil, unlike me, may have scruples about hurting Greg Singh in a material way. George, you have the information on cliques at your fingertips.

Bob Morion's been firing up the crack pipe again.
trotsky wrote:
Not as a first time builder. I've never seen it done. There's a reason people are apprentices to master craftsmen for years before building such insturments. And let's not forget the telescopes. If you're peeping through celebrities' windows do you refer to it as "gazing at the stars"? Building your first REAL telescope requires months or years of studying and math and calculations and such in addition to the grinding, which can take darn near forever. 90% of first-timers join groups and classes on how to do it and the rest that are successful are serious engineers who do stuff like this for a living. The same could be said about speakers or insturments. If you are truly serious about dong this for a job/career, then you need to study with a group. That means classes and a job with a reputable company for a couple of years first to learn the ropes. Look - I'm a good woodworker and know my stuff, but could I build a better guitar then Martin or Guild? Not in a million years my first time out. Even if I had their specs and plans and a couple in front of me to copy. Could I build BETTER? Maybe after the first 50 or so different tries. Maybe. Or, I could study with a true pro who is doing it for real and learn what I need to know in a couple of years. What is readily apparent to even the most casual onlooker of your speakers is that you are the true DIYer and lack the training or engineering/psysics background or test equipment to compensate for your rush to get into the field. Do it right or crash and burn. There are no other ways unless you LIKE to waste time and several years of pulling your hair out. Honestly - I'm being as helpful as I can here. You really seem to want to make speakers. Good. That's an honorable and good profession if done right - and we can always use more competition and innovation in the industry. BUT - that requires a couple of years out of your life to learn how to do it like the pros do. Take being an electrician. They train you for several years and THEN you can go out and get your contractor's license. That's if you want to really run a full-scale large company that will be successful. My advice would be to work for a company or go to school to train as an acoustical engineer or both. 4-5 years out of your life and presto! You suddenly are the guy that everyone's competing against. They are pulling their hair out. Sure - 4-5 years seems like a long time, but most failing businesses can easily take 4-5 years out of your life and leave you with nothing but an ulcer and frustration. Honsetly, life is too short to **** away doing things halfway in your garage. As they say, the devil's in the details. Little things like custom crossovers(every design requires tweaking here - no exceptions), You're right about one thing: the devil *is* in the details. For example, you seem to have glossed over the detail of what experience you have in this area. I claim that you have none. I have at least as much as you do My experience is in musical insturments and computers. I can fix and repair many types of insturments and yet would not even attempt to MAKE one from scratch without doing the proper schooling and training as, again, my life is too short to **** away several years only to most likely fail instead of doing it right and possibly being another Les Paul or simmilar craftsman. No - I'm not into Guitars or want to build insturments right now in my life(more interested in playing than building right now), but if I *did*, I'd go full-bore at it with the long-term in mind. baffles and internal bracing(huge with a speaker if you want the port to do anything other than "chuff" at you) You've bought into marketing hype, Joseph, or even worse, "conventional wisdom." Conventional wisdom is correct here. You must know what and how and WHY your speaker works inside to get the proper sound and not a bunch of distortion and resonance. The cabinet is the hardest part for any speaker maker and yours look like - well - boxes made with the attention to detail of IKEA. Serviceable furnature/boxes, but nothing more. - the specific type of material, how you mount the speakers,(you are using a proper gasket and machine screws? Let's hope you aren't just slapping it together with drywall screws) the shape of the port, and even tiny things like what exact glue and varnish(if wood) you use. What would happen if you used drywall screws--would your hair catch on fire? Also, could you explain in detail how you use machine screws in wood? (I use T-nuts for the woofers, which utilized machine screws, but I'm interested in your Three Stooges version.) That's one way. Another is to put mounts/etc into the cabinet itself that give you a threaded metal hole. The worst of all, though, is just to jam a screw into the soft MDF and hope it never needs to be taken out. If you really want to learn how to make excellent speakers then do yourself a huge favor and study and/or work at a major speaker manufacturer for a couple of years to learn some of the secrets and techniques. Mass produced speakers are part of the problem. In fact, you're contradicting yourself because in the beginning of your post you were referring to handmade "instruments." All speakers and instruments are "handmade" at some point.(possible exception with Yamaha and a few others that are more like true assembly lines). Their methods of assembly, quality control, and design alone are closely guarded secrets. Learning even a few will save you months and years of figuring it out the hard way. Look at Ellis - he's been doing it for YEARS and is finally just now in the last year or so getting to the point where he is competing with the big makers. If course he's doing it as a hobby, so that's understandable. You are looking at facing a hard uphill climb for several years while trying to run a full-fledged business. Ow. You can either slap somethig together and be Kia - fine cars but nothing special or you can learn to do it correctly and make a Honda, which is built to much higher standards in every single way. Uh oh, looks like we shifted gears to the car analogy. Don't you want to compare the process to a Tarantino script? Proper engineering and design principles apply to almost anything that you can buy. Q: What kind of car do you own? Q:Would you buy a Kia instead? Why not? So far, only your opinions. Have you actually done a side-by-side test with other speakers using other people? I've listened to more speakers than you will in your entire lifetime. Meaningless. I can say I've practiced more music in my lifetime than you have ever listened to, but unless I talk about the times when I've played in front of live people, it's all theory and what-if. But you aren't the target audience, Joseph, you're Tannoy's target audience. Why you're not saving for a pair of Joseph Audios is beyond me. Already have an adequate speaker setup and I'm not anal about getting perfect sound when there are a million other things that I can do in my life wityh the money from putting in a new addition to sending my son to a private school, to buying a new professional insturment, to bigger goals like moving to Japan(only $10K for moving costs last I heard - lol - that might take a while) and working abroad for a few years. New speakers just to sound a bit "better" is low on my list. That doesn't mean I can't listen and look, though, as currently I do computer and A/V systems consulting. (music never does pay the bills) Oh - now you are really beginning to believe your own marketing. If you've only been looking at the subs you could find at Circuit City, then I could imagine that you might think that. OTOH, at your prices, there are subs what will guaranteed stomp on yours ten times over. "Stomp" doesn't exactly imply finesse, or credibility. It sounds like you're coming from a car stereo mentality. Okay - how about... Make your woofers sound like they are made out of cotton candy? Paper mache'? Pick some term you are comfortable with, because in a side-by-side comparison, you are going to be hard-pressed to beat the better subs by even Velodyne. WHY you are even offering a SUB is beyond me. I'd stay OUT of that mire and instead buld some small full-range towers. You risk too much by splitting your design prosess into two different types of speakers. The sad fact is that it IS impossible. Too many small variables. When did you try, Joseph? Were hallucinagenic drugs involved? I have yet to see ANY first-time builder make a good product where audio(acoustic/speakers) or music(insturments) is concerned unless it is a radicaly different or innovative design. It just doesn't happen as the small details are too many and the competition is fierce in both fields. You also forget the fact that customer bias is present. Your speakers will have to sound noticeably BETTER for the same price as the larger companies to be seen as as viable choice. Sounds the same as their speakers won't even cut it. Afterall - your speakers or a pair of Tannoy S8 L/Rs? That's your closest mainstream competition. That specific model. There are lots of models at this price point. Exactly. Why choose your versus the Paradigms or B&Ws? Street price on the S8 L/Rs is $1350. Yours better sound like Tannoy's $2000 speakers or you'll never get past that hurdle in customer's minds. All things being equal, the customer will always choose the older, established name-brand product over the generic. Your knowledge of product niches appears to be nonexistent. The average consumer - you know the type - all about how much it costs and looks - will not see your speaker as a niche of anything. In fact, most will see that massive tweeter you are using as UGLY and pass on it. I wouldn't pay money for any of those "winners". They are not good values on an absolute basis. And yours are? Again, to the average consumer off the street, they will probably buy BOSE than your designs, so you must offer something better in terms of price or features or finish as sound isn't any better for the money than they can do. eg: $100 in parts marked up 5 times =$500 (DIYer going through a typical supply chain) $50 in parts marked up 5 times = $250 (economy of scale and buying thousands of components from the manufacturer) Same exact parts. Same exact design in this example. Because of the problem I stated above - namely, that you have to be BETTER for the money, you must price your speakers for no more than the big companies competing products *reguardless of your profit margins*. Joseph, you can't evaluate speakers without listening to them first. And you can't stay in business unless you can price your speakers lower than your competition as a new player in the field. Economics 101. Your profit margins are meaningless to EVERYONE ON THE PLANET other than you. Your customers, doubly so. Otherwise, they will always go out and buy the simmilar sounding name brand speaker for $1000. Pure garbage. I've seen people not buy cars because they were going to pay $5 more a month in payments. People are cheap asses and skinflints if you give them half a chance to do so. Given that your speakers are online and you don't have a salesroom where you can flood their weak minds with sales crap, they have plenty of opportunity to NOT buy your marketing. Now, if you set up distribution and had salesdroids hawking them for you, then you'd probably sell a few. Online only? Not a chance. |

Who among us trust Weil enough to accept his observation as even mildly definitive? I think the question is premised on a false assumption. i for one, am of the opinion that there are no definitive subjective opinions. It's a sort of an oxymoron.

Bobo said: So unless you think dave weil plotted out a devious strategy for getting trotsky to send him the speakers, intending all along to trash their performance, you need to rethink your analysis.

There is the "novelty" effect, whereby an anomaly can sound interesting at first, or until one is committed by purchase. If you think that, you don't know anything about weil's background. 2. Weil, unlike me, may have scruples about hurting Greg Singh in a material way. I'd say that's irrelevant because trotsky asked for a public evaluation. I expect weil's evaluation to be as clinical as he can make it and as lacking in, ah, colorations as possible. George, you have the information on cliques at your fingertips. Who among us trust Weil enough to accept his observation as even mildly definitive? "Definitive"? Where on earth did you get that from? Nobody should expect that and no reasonable person would use it to describe any one opinion. Put aside your histrionics. What you can get from an experienced, knowledgeable observer (a description that fits weil, in my view) is an informed opinion. From the way you and Obie (and duh-Mikey) have been squawking, one would think it's a million-to-one shot that the speakers won't sound terrible. If you have to generalize to meet some bizarre need of yours, I think what you'll get from weil is a ballpark evaluation. E.g., if he says they're "above average for clarity and imaging" or "muddy sounding in the bass", won't that give you some idea? How about "stellar performers on most music" or "a horrible nightmare of a garage experiment"? Those should put you in the ballpark too. It's just one guy's opinion. Do you mean people who can actually be named, or lurkers rarely heard from? Either represent a valid assertion, but I would appreciate just a little clarification. If you're referring to my "most of the group" assertion, the only ones I consciously excluded were the 'borgs and a few obstreperous trotsky-haters. I dislike the little toad also, you will note, but I don't prejudge his speakers. See the difference? Another way to put this, dispensing with my customary delicacy, is to say that you've gone way past any reasonable position on this issue. The issue you've fixated on -- trotsky's slapdash "design" procedure -- is irrelevant to most audio consumers. Obie's fixation is equally strained. When he insists that every consumer will behave the way he himself does, that puts him outside the bounds of reasonable assumptions. Consumers buy stuff for all kinds of reasons, and it's certainly false that they will all compare the Jupiter speakers to those from established companies. If trotsky were gunning for a major share of the audiophile speaker market, say 1%, he would need a marketing warchest that no garage operator has. His actual plan, assuming it's formulated, is probably to sell 25 sets in the first year. And some consumers in the audiophile segment don't do critical listening, you know. Some want speakers that a dealer or other audio authority figure tells them are "good". Some want speakers that are cool looking, or different (exclusivity), or perceived as avant-garde. I do understand your feeling that because the established experts in speaker design are much more knowledgeable and accomplished than trots, it's an insult to their efforts for him to offer a home-brewed box that arose through a process even less sophisticated than Wadia or Levinson used. But I don't understand why you would get so exercised about one little guy, even an obnoxious little twerp, trying to sell 25 pairs of speakers a year. |

No way would my atheist friends be found maliciously posting pedophile fantasies on an audio group like the google record proves that Singh did, literally for years. No way would they welsh on deals like Singh has done on RAO. But let's not get started in the long sorry story of Singh's very sad history on RAO. The bad news would just pile on and on. When Singh calls himself an atheist, he's libeling a lot of very good people who also happen to be atheists, but in contrast with Singh, have high moral and ethical standards. |

Gee Middius, weren't you the one who claimed that I was going to fall on my knees and ask sockpuppet wheel for forgiveness on or before September 20? What's today's date Middius? So much for your claims of skill at prognostication. Don't forget that he's been supportive from the beginning of trotsky's intention to build and market speakers. IOW, Weil is likely to be biased in such a way that he will whitewash any audible deficiencies of Singh's speakers. However there's a bigger problem here and that is Weil's non-existent qualifications as a loudspeaker reviewer. He put aside the vitriolic exchanges the two have had in the past. He's argued with you, Krooger, and Obie about Singh's right to do his thing. Trouble is Middius there is no such argument. There is no argument over Singh's right to make an ass out of himself one more time with this cockeyed speaker scheme of his. Never was. He's also wished trotsky well in the undertaking. As did I. So what? Just because a lot of people would like Singh to stop screwing his life up by the numbers and finally do one little thing right, doesn't mean that this is the time when he finally grows a brain. If you were compiling a short list of the RAO regulars who have genuine cause for bearing a grudge against Singh, dave would certainly be near the top, and yet he hasn't uttered a discouraging word about the Jupiter business. Weil's ability to deny obvious true facts is well known. He's well-qualified to evaluate Singh's speakers on the grounds that he's been a collector of deadly cheap, defective and outdated loudspeaker systems for years. So unless you think dave weil plotted out a devious strategy for getting trotsky to send him the speakers, intending all along to trash their performance, you need to rethink your analysis. Wrong. The problem with Weil evaluating a project by Singh is that its a classic case of the blind misleading the blind. It's "Dumb and Dumber" all over again. An interesting debate could be based on the question as to which one is less qualified to do what he wants to do. And this is not an occasion calling for a snippet of "If the cameras were rolling...." fiction. True facts often make for a more interesting story than any fiction contrived by man. |

That's blatantly false. Prove it with unbiased support for your claim. The Europas are one of the most neutral speakers I have heard at ANY price. Key words: "I have heard" coming from the designer of self-same speakers. Because you have no Christian morals, Krueger, you have no problem perpetuating blatant falsehoods. Fact of the matter is that Singh hasn't shown me actually perpetuating even one falsehood. I've supported my claims with unbiased references. Krueger, I can't believe it, you're too ****ing afraid to respond to me directly! That was easy. |
