Give up.
Have a good cry, then a nervous breakdown, and simply accept the fact that
your life is going to get worse, not better.

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but you simply have to face up to
the fact that your future is dark.

And you can't face up to the fact that you lack the backbone to talk
about how much of a failure you are yourself. You managed to leap past
the hurdle of having a real name but in spirit you're still an anonymous
piece of dog****. Sorry.

How'd you say the screenplays were doing, btw?

That he's making $100-$200 profit per pair on audiogon is not
a bad thing, actually.

That's how much per hour? And don't forget the cost of the investment
he's already made in his "business".

It's pathetic.
He ought to quit pretending, admit that he's a failure, and understand that
his failure is due to his inadequacy as a person.

I'd like to give him some encouragement, but with his paltry skills and
obnoxious personality, it's hard to see what he can do with his life.

Following the obligatory nervous breakdown, there are plenty of openings on
"The Street", and I don't mean Wall Street.

Greg, don't make Arny's mistake -- being in the wrong place at the wrong
time.

Honestly - his selling them for a reasonable profit online isn't
a bad living or business - if that's what he wants to do.

I'd have priced them at $400-$600 to begin with and saved a lot
of grief.

You're right, but I prefer to razz him mercilessly.
Your advice is right-on, and that is one way to spread the word and develop
a reputation, but I don't think he has the staying power.

He might dumbass. Not like you have any intellectual property rights
there.
Then what would you do if somone comes to market with essentially a
duplicate (same drivers and crossover and similar cabinet) at roughly 1/3
your asking price?
Even if he wasn't serious about the business, what little you have going
would be toast.
How many weeks of government assistance do you have left?

It's pathetic.
My son Bob ought to quit pretending, admit that he's a failure, and
understand that his failure is due to his inadequacy as a person.

I'd like to give him some encouragement,like I tried to do when he was in
his formative years, but with his paltry skills and obnoxious personality,
it's hard to see what he can do with his life. He has after all spent most
of his life in the protected environment of schools, where he's failed time
and time again.

Following his obligatory nervous breakdown, there are plenty of openings on
"The Street", and I don't mean Wall Street. His mother died a miserable
wretch due to Bob's failure at life.

Greg, don't make Bob's mistake -- being a miserable piece of ****.

An "inventive genius" that has never invented anything. And hardly

A contention rejected by three courts. From a 50 YEAR OLD that has

An idea that was worth nothing, because it didn't work. Just like
Robert Morein, who has never worked a day in his life.

Funnily enough, Drexel AGREED to reinstate Morein, who rejected the
offer because he knew he was and IS a failed loser. Spending daddy's
money to cover up his lack of productivity.

Because it was bogus. Even Kalata was mortified that he was a victim
of this SCAMSTER, Robert Morein.

So Morein ****s up his first couple years, gets new faculty advisers

Morein makes LOTS of claims that are nonsense. One look thru the

Just like all the failed "causes" Morein pursues. Heck, he's been

anything.

Scooter, you can't be this stupid. Oh yes, I guess you can. You guys
keep on talking out of your ass because Mother Hen is too agenda driven
to get her and her boys to beat you down. Even if the whole retarded
lot of you teamed up you couldn't compete me with product design, ad
copy, web site quality, ad campaign, construction quality, et al. I

Tightening driver screws is a fairly standard step in setting up
speakers.

Not needed for Quads.

I don't think you understand what's being discussed (what new?) I
designed the speaker, and none of you other trolls have proved you can

I built a pair of speakers once. A Jensen coax driver in a box for the
back of my Honda Civic. I use world class 1/4" plywood and lined the inside
and out with my hand selected carpet remnanat to achieve the perfect
damping. They sounded great and I could set them on the roof of the car
when were out partying at the quarry.
I think the real key was the way they seamlessly matched with my 8-track
tape player that really made them world class.

Actually, zero is a data point. Unfortunately it isn't to indicative of a
world class add campaign. But then again, if you get 1 order it will be an
infinite increase so your add campaign will be the most effective ever.

Those quality issues are pesky, aren't they? Nothing a good ass chewing
of the customer when they call to complain won't resolve. You gotta admit,
the Trots philosophy of customer service is at least unique if nothing
else.

A: overpriced. I see this in real estate all the time. Some twink thinks
they can get $2 a square foot for a store per month and lets it sit for
4-6 months before finding just the right rube to move in. Given the person's
business sense, they likely will go under soon - another negative.

Consider:
say, 1000 sq ft. $2000 per month. 5 months no rent = -$10,000 finally
rented for a year. +24000. Net profit $14000.

$1500 per month. Rents immediately(no downtime). Rents for the same year.
(in reality, longer as the startup's overhead is lower) Net profit $18000.

In fact, the first example would require renting for two years solid in order
to break even with the second one. Of course, with higher rent, businesses
tend to move more, so when they do leave, you're back to 4-6 months of empty
space again.

What does this have to do with Greg?
Simple. If he priced them at $600 a pair, he'd sell 4-6 times as many per
month and net the same amount of profit when all was said and done.

His advantage, though, is low lag-time, immediate funds(if in smaller
chunks), and a greatly increased number of clients/customers - most of
whom would give his speakers a good review since the price is somewhat
reasonable.

I thought there was a squishy gasket after all. Still, even hard-mounted

Sounds like a design improvement is possible. Perhaps filling the hole
with something a little stronger before inserting the T-nut so they don't
settle.

IME Singh was obsessing. As a rule t-nuts in MDF or plywood don't settle if
properly set in the first place. The resilience of the wood acts like a
natural lock-washer. I just checked the screws on my sub, set in t-nuts in
MDF, untouched and operational for over 20 years. No problems.

What do you mean by "problems", Arny? I mean, if we were to ask your
wife I could see her saying your screws have problems, but that's a
different matter. If there's room for even as little as a quarter turn
per screw it makes a difference.

Crap, I must have missed that one.

So are they world class or are they not? Since we know your standards for
world class are pretty low, I would think they are - unless this having to
tighten your T-nuts is getting annoying. Try countersinking a small hold
and filling with a stronger material like wood filler. Your nuts wont keep
sinking on you.

Otoh, repeated incessant overtightening will lead to all sorts of
other problems as MDF isn't the strongest of materials as far as
holding screws goes.

Or, failing that - a simple thin lock-washer in the same countersunk hole.

I'm not sure what you're asking, Scottie. Because you are a horse's
ass, you don't understand what's good and what's not good in the
manufacture of audio equipment, specifically speakers. Hence your
concept of "world class" in the above question proves further that you
are a horse's ass. We go over this again and again: I'm running out of

Build a speaker that isn't a piece of **** (the only thing you're

You built 'em and yet you hesitate to comment on this. Me thinks you are
aware of undisclosed design flaws which don't measure to even your low
standards of world class.

Actually, I was allowing you to set the standard of world class.

Is that all it would take to exceed you? Build a speaker that "isn't a
piece of ****"?
That means that your speakers are a piece of ****.
I think you might want to think before typing again.

Actually there wouldn't be a ****storm if I simply thanked him for his
time
and honest opinion. I wouldn't ask someone to do something and then
attack them for doing it like a world class asshole we know has done.

BTW, I found the broken solder joint causing my preamp to be intermittent.
Hard to find, I had to use this little pocket microscope I got recently.
Cool
little device but hard to focus. Anyway, it's working fine now and in
spite of
its country of origin - it sounds great.

It's sad that you sold Yamaha all those years and only took the time to

I turned the screws down until things felt *right* and that was that. Given
that I've been doing carpentry, home improvements, car repair and audio
construction for about 50 years, my wrists are pretty well educated to what

No, apparently you didn't understand what you'd written, you dumb son of

I'm sure it compares very favorably to the Chord preamp I use. BTW, I'm
about to put it up for sale to fund my speaker operation. I wouldn't
sell it to you, though, because you wouldn't appreciate it.

Scott, since you do nothing except sit on your ass collecting a paycheck
(and hoping you'll be able to get another hard-on someday), it's not
really your place to say a goddamned thing. What do you do if your kid
asks "What does "nothing ventured nothing gained" mean?"--tell him to go

Hey, there's an informed opinion. Just because I succeeded on a path
which
you fail is no reason to be jealous. Well maybe it is, cuz I really am
working

The last strand of moral fiber stretching. Repeat a lie enough

I help him understand the economics of his venture and the best way to
succeed is to provide a good value. Of course there is always the
fall back plan, overpriced bookshelfs to the audio gullible.

There's a qualitative difference between cashing in your retirement

every day.

I suppose you're right. He really has no hope of making
enough money to redeem his ticket.
Outright sale would be the best approach. But that will take time.
I wonder if Trots is going the auction route again?

Exactly, and now Trots will be using substandard equipment to evaluate
his designs.
Its a slippery slope he has chosen.

But I do see a few C-50s and C-60s he can acquire for reasonable expense
to sustain
his "lab".

If they're "overpriced" you must be referring to their sound quality. I
thought you were opposed to talking out of your ass in this way. Or
does sound quality not matter to you? You might want to think about

Yep - all I have to do is do the same thing you did. Pick a couple of
drivers and send Madisound some dimensions and $40 (or whatever it is
that they require) and they'll design a crossover for me. The rest is
just holding my breath like you did. I've got a 9 in 10 chance that
they'll sound better than some Dunlavy VIs.

You're trying to rationalize not caring if my house burns

Everything you know about engineers you got from Dilbert.
Outside of work, you couldn't identify most of my friends as engineers.
Hell, even at work as the dress is more casual than even audio sales

You've done more than "speculate" on Greg's business and you know it.

Unless you review them, in which case nobody will know what the hell

Too bad. I have no interest in embarking on a 40 post
thread of who said what when for which you seem to live
for. Gaining your agreement isn't making my priority list
today.

Or you review them, in which case they'll sound like **** because you
didn't build them.

Having said that, I wouldn't be so presumptuous to review them myself.
Only an idiot would do that.

Yes, it's too bad that I'm right and you're wrong.

No, your priority list at the moment includes getting all ticked off
because I made a comment that perhaps you should take a very limited
interest subject off-line after a series of second-by-second
expositions. The other thing on your priority list is trying to
torpedo someone's new venture by a series of assinine posts.

Whatever floats yer boat, Scott.

Schools are closed again tomorrow in SD county.
Julian and Cuyamaca (mountain communities) are
evacuated and under severe threat. Structures have
been burned but no count is available.

Nice job of dissembling Scott. It's not disingenuous for you at all!

Why not? $400-$600 is all he can get on Audiogon, afterall.
He's not sold one at his retail pricing, but so far has sold
at least two for a lower cost.

If he lowers the cost enough, they will fly out of his garage
and he'll make at least as much money. Of course, he'd likely
have to hire an expert to figure out where the breakpoints
are.

Oh - wait - he didn't do that? Another step ion the process
he missed - he never bothered to ask a professional to examine
them and figure out what their pricing should be. He just picked
a number out of his all-too-fuzzy head.

Should I choose to go through a traditional dealer network, the speakers
are under priced. Why do you continue to talk out of your ass in this
manner?

Heh. Good luck making more than $400-$600 once a dealer network gets
through with you.

In any case, it's a moot point. You plainly have stated that you plan to
sell direct.

I suggest you take it up with Dave. Perhaps you can break your longest
