I'm one-dimensional, as far as RAO is concerned and haven't paid much attention to that particular RAO trainwreck. It just seems our paths are pionting in the same direction for a while. Do you still enjoy apologizing for Arnii Krooger? I've come to the conclusion that everyone on RAO gets what they deserve. And most of them are asking for it. However, I will add that Arny has politely answered the one or two questions I have asked that had anything to do with audio. You answered one yourself. |

Live with it, loser. |

That's got to really burn you, eh Bob? They've stood toe to toe and beat the living **** out of you. You're just to stupid to know it. |

Well, the adhesive you used on the stuffing *is* flammable. You know, that's interesting: I was assembling a pair of speakers yesterday, attempting to screw the crossover boards in place, when a screw got tangled in the insulation and I couldn't get it out. I then used my Dremel's cutting tool attachment to cut the head of the screw off. It showered sparks for about 90 seconds continuously, and I briefly wondered if one of you dumb ****ing *******s might've been right, and something could catch fire. No, I'm afraid not. Your "input" has been trash from day one, Joe. At least you had one moment of clarity when you admitted you were a troll. And you call that a competent test of the flammability of your speakers? For Christ's sake, why don't you pony up and bring a set over to Underwriter's Lab? I think they're in your neck of the woods. Take a schematic. They will overdrive them for several hours, measure delta T, and if they don't blow up you will have a UL listing. Probably cost you about $2,400, and they'll let you pay ove time. They'll want to inspect your cough, cough... factory, but they've seen worse. If you choose to go this route, you should get a copy of the UL Standard (probably in the 500 series), and make sure your stuff fits within the requirements. Are the Silver Flutes UL listed or UL registered? |

Is it "straw man" or "straw mouse" in your case? Are you saying the dumb ****ing *******s that I mentioned look for UL listings to buy speakers? I wouldn't buy anything electric powered like your subwoofer without a UL sticker on it. P.S. guess what my dream job growing up was? Tester for UL labs. Hey - you get *PAID* to abuse and blow stuff up. What could be better? |

Should read: "the razzing of Trotsky is exactly what he deserves" No charge. I got my money's worth. Such a deal. A better deal than Jupiter speakers. However, there are at least a hundred other pairs of $1,300 speakers I would never buy. ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |
