Naim and Elac Adante, Wow

Audiotroy is back.  He is once again taking up valuable space in the forums to sell his products and debunk others. Anyone who prefers another outstanding brand is hard of hearing and most likely a kool-aid drinking "fanboy". Oh and he has science behind him because he is an electrical engineer, I mean, he has read alot of articles and heard lots of speakers like many serious audiophiles here. But, well, I mean uh, he is a dealer and is therefore just more qualified to opine than others therefore attention must be paid. And as a dealer he wouldn't steer you wrong. I mean all of the other dealers who start threads to promote their products do the same thing. I mean, look around the forums for a few days and you'll find all of them---- I mean both of them--Dave and Audiotroy. Or are they one? 

Anyway,  Audiotroy knows the absolute truth about which speaker brands are the best and he can rank them for you. The ones he sells are the best and the ones that he is not permitted to sell are loved only by "fanboys".  But don't call him a "fanboy" as there is a big difference between a "fanboy" and a self-promoting blathering shill.

Audiotroy:
As always, you generate many words and miss the point. I have tremendous respect for Andrew Jones. He is one of our premier speaker designers and I’m sure that Elacs sound wonderful.
As to your desire to put tomic601 and I in the same room to compare Vandy 7s and Alexias, I would be happy to do that as you suggest. It would, as you say, be priceless. I have heard the Vandy 7s many times with the very electronics I use to drive my Sashas and I think they are great speakers as well, although a fairer comparison would be Vandy 7s vs Alexia v2s. Judging from tomic601’s reasonable and well balanced posts, I believe we would discuss the different attributes of each speaker, why we might prefer how one presents music over the other and have a great time as I do (and I’m sure he does) with many audiophile friends with different preferences. Unlike you, I would never conclude that tomic601 is a "fanboy" if he prefers Vandys and I’m sure he would not call me a "fanboy" for preferring Wilsons. Nor would he tell me that I must prefer balsa drivers because they are more innovative and advanced than paper pulp and I would not say that he must prefer Wilson’s advanced cabinetry technology over the new Vandy enclosures. You see, "fanboy" is, to me, a pejorative word best used to describe an eighth grade rival who prefers one comic book or superhero over another. That word has no point in civil adult conversation. But you use it all the time to describe anyone who prefers a brand over one which you carry.
Once again, it is not the products you carry --some of which are very good. It is how you promote them here and how you criticize other who disagree with you by usually citing technology, your experience or your trained ear--which every other reputable dealer can do, but does not do here because it is so distasteful and would lead to endless arguments between dealers as to who has the best technology, experience and ear. You also fail to realize that there are many members here have decades of experience in the high end industry, have heard hundreds, if not thousands of speakers, read the trade mags and white papers with respect to technological innovation in speaker design and do not need to be told how you have the best stuff because, as a scientific fact, your brands have the best technology to accurately portray the source. If that were true, we could all just go out and buy Magico and not bother to Quads, Harbeth, Proac, Verity Audio or the like. Your usual comeback is in the following vein:--"I’m just trying to impart valuable information including my golden ears and vast experience to those who may not have considered the brands I carry and suggest that they give my brands a listen"
Right.
Wouldn’t any dealer frame their sales job that way? I’m so happy that they don’t and we only have to listen to you do it.

Sounds like a great idea. As you say, it's the music that matters and the joy of listening. For Audiotroy, it's the art of the deal.

Audiotroy:
I'm done here.
As always, I've said enough.
You've said too much.

 You speak of my "bad taste behavior".
 I have seen many of your posts on Audiogon. I have never said anything negative about you, your posts or anyone on Audiogon except Audiotroy and a Goner who either posted at his behest or appeared to be Audiotroy posting under a different name (having posted only a few times on Audiogon and all in defense of Audiotroy).
 You speak from personal knowledge and your opinion about your experiences and preferences are what Audiogon is all about. 
Audiotroy is a complete self promoting airbag.
Sorry if I offend anyone but the chief offender--Audiotroy.

My bad. I didn’t realize you were quoting Audiotroy. As punishment for my error, I went back and read Audiotroy’s post of March 8. Can you imagine how painful that was for me? I usually don't read but merely skim his posts. They simply go on for too long to actually read. Fortunately, I only had to read that one sentence.
Cheers.

Hey Tomic. Sounds good.
Troubador I hope.

Hey I've got an idea. How about when Audiofool posts, we all ignore him and continue the thread as if he is not there. It would drive that shill crazy.
