Bobo inverts reality.

Are you on the side of Trotsky the Aristocrat, or Robspierre?

He's on Krooger's side, just like you.

Bobo: "Krooger is dangerous!"

Poodleborg: "Krooger is greatly worthwhile!"

Some people just don't give a damn about their reputations.

I'm not on Krueger's side.
On the other hand, I'm rather suspicious of you, making Trotsky the
Poster
Child of High End Audio.

Ha! Good one.

Gimme a break, the guy's a fraud.

So what? He's one little speaker company. I understand that his
entire enterprise offends you deeply, but there are several points
in his favor. For one, he's actually trying to make a living in
audio.

It sounds like "making a living in audio" is a worthiness criteria for you.
I fail to see how it makes one meritorious. By itself, it means nothing.

You're not. In fact, you're nothing but a slug, nursing a
screenplay for 20 years and trying to squeeze a victory out of a
silly lawsuit.
For another, you haven't even heard the speakers.
That, by the way, is the strongest bond you have with Kroo**** --
smugly pontificating about something you can't do yourself.

Now that's not fair.
Either Krueger, you, or I could do what Trotsky's doing. The formulas can be
evaluated on a pocket calculator. But it's well known that the formula are
only an approximation. Professionals spend six months with sawdust flying to
work the bugs out of a design. Trotsky hasn't done that.

If Trotsky had put in the work, I would respect the effort, regardless of
how odious a guy he is. You don't seem to realize that he's skipped the
design step, skipped the elbow grease.

I gather you feel that there is some chance that Trotsky hit the right
combination, either by accident, or by some process you prefer to assume
succeeded. I'm telling you that the chance of that occurence is vanishingly
small. Compare it to teaching someone creative writing without knowing
what's in Strunk's first.

Even if he DID somehow win the Publishers Clearinghouse of speaker design,
bass reflex is notoriously sensitive to driver variations. It goes boomy/
hollow with variations that occur on a regular basis with drivers of
established quality. When John Bau, a real artist, was building the TC-50,
he tested everything, and modified the drivers, even though his design was a
much less tempermental sealed box. He could have one lucky pair, and **** up
every second unit. And Chinese drivers are all over the map. They have to be
graded.

Unfortunately, I can't hear the speakers, and nobody else can, unless they
pay out $1300 for a bad bet.
There are musicians and amateurs who have built very good speakers. It takes
them forever, but patience can replace resources.

But I
also applaud the nutty little fruitcake for trying. The real bonus
will come if he actually sells some speakers -- the Bug Eater and
his "****head" friend Krooger will melt down. 'Cause you know
Gregipus will be back to gloat.

If he had put in the elbow grease, I'd be clapping too. I would not let my
personal antipathy stand in the way. You have observed that Greg prepares
his arguments poorly, appears obtuse -- you say stupid -- and generally, is
overly verbal about things he hasn't thought out. Unfortunately, this is a
general manifestation of his personality which has extended to this latest
folly. Please think about the one or two guys who could, maybe, actually
purchase the product, be unhappy, and be out of a lot of dough. Aren't the
future victims worthy of your concern?
