Upgrade from Joseph Audio Pearls?

I have to chime in here regarding these attacks on Audiotroy's "morals." I've had a one on one conversation with with him in the past regarding a potential speaker replacement/upgrade. He was unbiased in his comments and told me to keep the speakers, I wasn't going to improve on them in my price range he said. He then discussed what he thought was the correct path forward (amp/preamp/etc.) and made several suggestions which proved to be accurate. Not once did he push what he was selling in a manner that demeaned other brands. Like everyone, he has his preferences and he explained those clearly.

Based upon what I've read in this thread Soix overreacted to Audiotroy's fairly benign comments.  Is there something else going on here?  Carry over from another thread possibly?

I agree with "sheesh"......For what I look for in a loudspeaker, to reproduce the music I like, at the levels I like, I have easily kept my tweaked Lascalas as I have heard the Joseph Audio Pearls, and like many speakers I have heard, they were lifeless. We are allowed to have our own likes and opinions, and simply no need to get huffy. Enjoy! MrD.
