I didn't recomend the Joulida I simply speculated that it would be a
good combo.

Backpedaling on a seemingly strong recommendation becomes you, sockpuppet
Wheel.

Misrepresenting the facts is typical of you. I never recomended the Joulida. I
was simply correcting your mistake.

I said


That was based on my extensive experience with the
Vandersteens and tubed amplification.


Arny said


But not extensive enough to cover what you recommended?

Your question is based on a false premise of your own creation. I stand behind
what I said. You seem to stand behind your misrepresentation of what I said. So
yes, my experience is extensive enough to stand behind what I said about the
Joulida/ Vandersteen combination.

I said


Unlike you, I have actually
heard a similar combo and it sounded great to me.


Arny said


That's right sockpuppet wheel, no matter what I listen to, what I listen to
will not reflect on how it sounds to you.


Of course not. But then I also am not afflicted with prejudices against tubed
gear or speaker manufacturers whose philosophies in audio are different than
mine.

I said


But it's nice to
know you are willing to trash the sound of systems you have not
actually heard even when your only experience with any of the
components in question was "pretty good" to you.

Arny said


I probably have higher standards for sound quality than you do, sockpuppet
Wheel.

Balony.

Perhaps its due to the fact that I can audition equipment with
recordings based on live performances that I was intimately involved with?

Perhaps not. Just becuase you make crappy recordings doesn't mean you are any
less incompetent at evaluating audio.
