Hi Inna,
I have to say that your postings are knowledgeable and opinions that seem to always be honest advice.
I was a bit concerned with what you wrote about Ralph and his amps. I've read a couple hundred responses from Ralph and i've never heard him tout his products as the best or that his ideas are better than everyone else's.
As you know and even Ralph knows, many people would step in and say that they've never heard anything better than an Atmosphere product, others would say that they don't care for it.
The following comments are not directed to you, but are what made me write this:
I am a speaker guy, I've been around building speakers for 35 plus years. No, I don't know everything, but there isn't a speaker conversation that I couldn't walk into, be at home and contribute too, yet, because I am no longer manufacturing or my name is not attached to a specific design, My comments are often overlooked or discounted as someone that just doesn't know. I personally know 2 different people that are guru's like Ralph that will no longer visit this forum because of the aggravation of constantly feeling like they have to prove themselves to others that just don't know......
With that, I would hate to lose Ralph and I appreciate Ralph and the few other pro's stepping in and offering real guidance.
I don't mean to point this directly at you, I'm not trying to raise stink, but just felt that it needed to be said long before now.
Tim
