Hate reflects on oneself,

True. I guess hating the kroog suddenly comes about because of the
surprise factor involved. Like I said before, highend audio is one of
the last realms on earth one would imagine to stir up passionate hate in
someone, so you let your guard down, in a manner of speaking. But it
isn't one sided. Read the poster that just called me "janathen" or
another, for some reason, I think there is a healthy dosage of hate in
between the lines.

Oh well, just let people write what they want.

Wonder who is that janathen.

I think he means Jonathan Scull, a (ex?) Stereophile reviewer.
I must admit I don't see the link, other than your passionate opinion
about Sonus Fabers.

If that is the rationale to judge by, I'm Harvey "Gizmo" Rosenberg :-)
Or his reincarnation.........a bit early, you will note.

I happen to know that Michael once designed and built his own
loudspeakers.

Did you ever hear them? How do you know he succeeded?

I haven't heard them, but I've seen pictures and there are/were people
on RAO who have heard them.
At that time I ran my own audio business and was thinking of selling
them in Europe.
Before we could work out something, my little company went south.

and still respect him as a human
being.

No, I call'em as I see'm, I respect only those who deserve it. If he
wants respect as a human being, then he'd better try to act like one.

Here our opinions differ I'm afraid.
That way, you let others determine how to think or act towards them.
I'll never allow that to happen again for myself.
