One week ago Dave Weil told us :
* I will tell you the true "Stop speculating about my motives because you're overthinking it. I simply want to report my opinion of the speakers without bringing the designer's personality or methods into it. I've never particularly cared about the "behind-the-scenes" stuff." * I haven't no scruple "I have no such scruples (either way). I don't care one whit about hurting or helping him. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if I don't take a few hits from him when I express my opinions." * Trotsky is cruel : "Sure I would. Considering my history with Greg, it would be delightful revenge. He's been *very* nasty to me countless times. Nothing would please me more than to say that his speakers are a pile of **** on a speaker stand. I'd be able to lord it over him *and* push his buttons over and over again." Who is dismissed Dave ? I give you a free advice Dave. As soon as possible you should take $300.00 from your savings to manufacture the speakers of your dreams. After that you can put your Klipschs in the nearest trash box. LOL ! |

Maybe if you can put that foie gras brain of yours to work, you can possibly find another reason why I'm not interested in commenting. This is the great mystery. What caught your tongue? I'm not even considering the possibility that you were bribed. It must be some misguided sense of social justice, but no one here has the slightest idea what that "sense" might be? Who is dismissed Dave ? You are, of course. I give you a free advice Dave. As soon as possible you should take $300.00 from your savings to manufacture the speakers of your dreams.

You know, if I didn't know better, I'd say that you were Arnold in disguise. You say that because you are angry. Why am *I* angry? Yes, why are *you* angry? You are humiliated and you don't want to recognize it. Now *that's* funny. I'm humiliated and don't even know it. Don't you have to know that you are humiliated before you can *be* humiliated? Depends upon which dictionary. According to Webster's 1913 dictionary, a person can be humiliated when his social standing is reduced: Definition: \Hu*mil"i*ate\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Humiliated}; p. pr. & vb. n. {Humiliating}.] [L. humiliatus, p. p. of humiliare. See {Humble}.] To reduce to a lower position in one's own eyes, or in the eyes of others; to humble; to mortify. We stand humiliated rather than encouraged. --M. Arnold. What about your "waxing poetic or crap like that". What about "waxing poetic or crap like that"? ScottW was right : "You're an old man playing a childs game, Dave. It makes you look foolish." Agreeing with Scott simply makes *you* look foolish. I think it's *you* who can't get a handle on his anger. It started with French heat deaths and hasn't stopped yet. I think it's *you* who have mysterious, occult motives, that have, in this instance, fermented distrust and unease. You criticized those of us who made educated estimates as to the quality of Trotsky's speakers, since *you* actually had them in hand. And now you are the only recipient of that exclusive privilege, having brow-beaten the rest of us, and you won't share your observations. It's ****ty. You've been quoted as promising an evaluation, and you abdicated your responsibility. Hence, you have been humiliated *in the eyes of others*, whether or not you yourself feel humiliated. My guess is that Trotsky made an emotional plea, and you responded. If failing to deliver a review would have helped him, I could almost understand. But there was an honorable way this could have been handled, as in "Based on a partial evaluation by Dave Weil, Greg Singh has withdrawn the speakers from review until such time as changes are made in the design." This would have protected you, and it would have protected him, by making a commitment to quality. But if your refusal to speak is so that Trotsky can just sell'em as-is, he's got about 500 Google hits and about 3000 lurkers who know all too well the unseemly ending of the Weil-Trotsky affair. |

I simply want to report my opinion of the speakers without bringing the designer's personality or methods into it. I've never particularly cared about the "behind-the-scenes" stuff." Highly ironic, given the Google record which shows Weil bragging about conspiring against me with Graham. Maybe not ironic at all, but just another example of Weil's wildly inconsistent behavior. * I haven't no scruples "I have no such scruples (either way). I don't care one whit about hurting or helping him. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if I don't take a few hits from him when I express my opinions." Exactly what scruples can we count on Weil having based on anything he's ever said? * Trotsky is cruel : "Sure I would. Considering my history with Greg, it would be delightful revenge. He's been *very* nasty to me countless times. Nothing would please me more than to say that his speakers are a pile of **** on a speaker stand. I'd be able to lord it over him *and* push his buttons over and over again." Dave Weil's stated life's goals - pushing other people's buttons. So, tell me why I'm not commenting about his speakers since he "humiliated" me. Shouldn't I be talking his speakers down right about now? Isn't this the perfect opportunity for "revenge". It appears that Weil has taken Singh's speakers down - in anticipation of shipping them back to Singh. However, given the track record of both of these liars, I still doubt that the speakers were ever shipped either way. Anybody have a UPS tracking number as proof? Maybe if you can put that foie gras brain of yours to work, you can possibly find another reason why I'm not interested in commenting. Weil again tries to substitute name-calling for candor. Who is dismissed Dave ? You are, of course. After the name-calling, Weil tries to put on airs. As close as Weil has ever come to putting on airs is what most of us call "Breaking Wind". I give you a free advice Dave. As soon as possible you should take $300.00 from your savings to manufacture the speakers of your dreams. After that you can put your Klipschs in the nearest trash box. Interesting question - could a technical incompetent like Weil do a better job of designing and building speakers than a technical incompetent like Singh. Definitely a battle of two well-documented mental midgets with delusions of audio grandeur. You know what? Your advice is worth what I paid for it. Well, this is RAO, is it not? LOL ! You know, if I didn't know better, I'd say that you were Arnold in disguise. What Lionel and I share most is common is how easily and often we've recently exposed Weil's dissembling, arrogance and ignorance. You say that because you are angry. Why am *I* angry? You are humiliated and you don't want to recognize it. Now *that's* funny. I'm humiliated and don't even know it. Don't you have to know that you are humiliated before you can *be* humiliated? Weil knows, he's just in denial. What about your "waxing poetic or crap like that". What about "waxing poetic or crap like that"? ScottW was right : "You're an old man playing a childs game, Dave. It makes you look foolish." Agreeing with Scott simply makes *you* look foolish. Here Weil sets himself as being THE superior authority of all of RAO. I think it's *you* who can't get a handle on his anger. It started with French heat deaths and hasn't stopped yet. But that presumes that Weil would take responsibility for anything he's said or done in the past. In other words you ask : "What are you doing here isn't it ?" Dave you are the guy who stand alone in a concert room a long time after musicians have left... ...In order to be sure that all the music, all the frequencies have reach your ears. LOL ! It's true that I ticketed Weil for agreeing that the speed of sound was highly dependent on frequency which is of course simply not true. Contemplate a person working at that subterranean level of ignorance trying to provide a competent review of a high-end loudspeaker. Dave since I was 8 years old I know that sound speed is a constant. I use it to calculate the distance from my house to a rainstorm. Dave, in a way Trotsky is right you are a "poseur" I've been proving that with facts and logic for years. I'm waiting for Middius to figure this all out and start criticizing Weil. The Google record shows that Middius was about 4 years behind me when it came to seeing through Singh. he might be true to form if he finally "gets it" about Weil. |

Singh, please explain your vision of what designing speakers involves. At his point we know that you used a prepackaged set of drivers and a crossover and box/port configuration that someone else designed out for you. It's sad to see you resort to lying, Mickey. The word "lie" presumes knowledge that contradicts what was said. Yet, what Mckelvy wrote is common knowledge around here. Where is the contradiction? |

Perhaps you could point out this claimed "set" on that page. In the absence of your doing this, we'll just have to assume that: You lose. Again.

Apparently I was, because I know about that URL and also know that there's no "prepackaged" set of those drivers on that page, nor on any page of the Madisound web site for that matter, even though they *do* offer other "prepackaged sets" as well as entire kits. But not with Silver Flute drivers. |

Madisound actually has a 2-way kit listed on their site that has superior specs to yours - for under $500. Does it sound better? Probably about the same. You seem to think that how the tweeter looks or its type of construction makes it automatically sound better. It does not. Sure, you have to assemble it, and the cabinet could have a better finish, but a few sheets of sandpaper and a little $5 can of MinWax varnish will fix that. As long as there is any sort of veneer, it can be stained and varnished to very good results. http://www.madisound.com/cygnet2.html It has better, more expensive drivers than yours uses, and a simmilar cabinet volume. The crossover is nearly identical to yours as well. A little sanding and varnish and you are done. http://www.madisound.com/AR.COM.html People will notice that the guts of this kit looks suspiciously close to Greg's design other than the tweeter(which at this price-point is cosmetic as good planar drivers start at about $100) http://www.madisound.com/froymk3.html Trotsky's competition. This is hand-down a better speaker. It's the flattest, most accurate tweeter Seas makes mated with two of their best woofers. Note the several hundred hours spent tuning the bass by Murray Zeligman. Oh - those are expensive caps as well - not junk. $1160 with cabinets. It looks like a competant design, overall. They also sell the Thor, which is a bit better, but I'd get the standard crossover and upgrade it to the "premium" one myself and save some money.(mostly swapping components - the board is virutally identical) http://www.madisound.com/vifastudio.html Another competitor - if you like Vifa better. $505. As for me? Probably make something like the Cygnet but use a Morel tweeter instead. Seas seems to make excellent woofers, and Morel excellent tweeters. - definately good enough for a pair of computer speakers. Well, MY idea of "computer speakers" ![]() |

I'd spend $53.50 more and use this(if I *had* to use a ribbon) http://www.madisound.com/jp-3.html That's a better set of graphs. 95db efficiency is quite good, though the dip at 6khz is odd. Still, a better driver than the silverflute. Since both are made in China, there's no problem. I figure if Greg doesn't care, and 90% of consumers don't either... Me? I don't like ribbons. I can show you graphs that are amazingly flat for soft dome tweeters. Here's one I'm thinking of using: http://www.partsexpress.com/pdf/277-045s.pdf - Much better, for not a lot more money. $49 for the unshielded, $55 for shielded. Replacements for Greg's tweeter: http://www.partsexpress.com/pdf/297-409.pdf A good chinese made driver that has that "different" look. Actually, not too bad specs for the price. Another option: http://www.partsexpress.com/pdf/277-303.pdf Not a bad performer for the price. Still, I'd go with the Morel or the Seas. |

But not with Silver Flute drivers. Have you LOOKED at the specs for that crummy driver? Why Greg doesn't get a better tweeter leaves me scratching my head. $20 per driver more for twice the quality (Vifa, Morel, Seas, Focal, etc) wouldn't hurt is bottom-line at all. Maybe there's a reason people aren't using the Silverflute in their designs. |
