Seems classifying speakers as outdated or not isn’t useful.

Although technology marches on, many audiophiles enjoy older gear.  

Generally speaking, forum Agoners are:

  • A community where we strive to help each other to yield better “subjective” sonic satisfaction- one size does not fit all
  • We strive to be respectful of others systems and budgetary constraints.  This includes all audio gear enjoyed by members including vintage.

The question of how vintage gear competes sonically with modern offerings is common, usually means the doubt that it may not be good enough.  Therefore, we try to encourage others that if they are satisfied, that’s all that matters.  If not, then we try to help them with suggestions.

your opinion matters.

@sabih seems plain that you’re asking for a judgement and opinion. But when we give it, you take it as a personal attack.

Frankly I  do not need affirmation about my system…

…respectfully I  was  not asking affirmation from Agon community I  was only giving bit of flavor what an iconic speakers can do well tuned room

This was NOT clear until YOU clarified your intention that affirmation and encouragement (which is normally considered a good thing) is not want you wanted (which seems you take like an insult).

It’s great that you find your audio chain satisfying, but not so great when our community is trying to help you then receive in return defensive responses 

Thank you participating and your unclear comments .  As if You are representing yourself  Team Leader…

Unclear?  Defending others makes one a team leader?

I see what’s truly going on. Your lacking in maturity- fight or flight vs working things out with others. Making excuses rather than facing criticism.  Looking through the lens of offense from others (defensiveness).   Excuses for your rude behavior.  Excuses for your unclear intentions. Prideful and selfish.  Default blaming others rather than owning your part.  Logic and reason will be trumped by emotional immaturity.  

Seeking respect? What a baseless, pointless, temporary and immature goal.

My motivation is Gratitude- thankful and appreciative of the Agoners help and sharing of information.  Is simply caring for others difficult to understand?

Most arguments are simply a difference of opinion vs facts, I make it a point to not get involved.  But this is not the case- you’re unwarranted attacks on others- returning good with evil.  Whipping out the fact that you’re missing limbs as if it entitles you to something like maybe the right to be abusive.

Your quick to point fingers and your refusal to take ownership at your part speaks volumes. Although we don’t like to admit when we are wrong, the mature person realizes that as a human we make mistakes.  Unfortunately you likely have your self-esteem closely/foolishly linked to your being right and wrong, so admitting any wrong/error is extremely painful and thus you use avoidance (blame shifting, excuses, focus change…), than taking responsibility.  Logic and reasoning is fruitless to an emotionally closed mind.  

I’m not trying to attack you nor am I seeking to elevate myself, but it’s painful to sit idly by while you return good intentions with abuse to our Agon community.

It’s great that you find your system satisfying, that’s what we all strive for.  It’s also good that besides our dialogue you seem to enjoy sharing your knowledge and experience.  Seems you’ve had significant life challenges, I desire for the best for you.  I’m hoping you’ll please tone it down, have more patience, and to lift/help others.  Life is hard enough without adding strife.
