whatsbestforum - what's going on

I thought I could reduce my presence here and participate elsewhere so I registered on this site called whatsbestforum. First it looked harmless. I did not read the about section. 

I made one comment, a speaker recommendation - did not name or mention anyone - just posted a link to a speaker site and I was immediately banned. The site went into an endless loop, with the you are banned message. I can't log off or view anything, the only way I can view it is if I start another private browser. On top of that, a few hours later, the message changed to "Your IP address has been banned."  Like I am some kind of criminal to be kept away with a restraining order and pepper spray.

I wonder if it's an exclusive site or a cult, and if anyone from here is a successful member over there. The about us section is truly disturbing. I am not taking it personally, but it does bother me of course.

charliee,

I guess that is why it’s called a system. Or "it’s only as good as the weakest link".

We all are striving for that elusive magic combo.

Based on the reviews I have read, I would think the Accuphase would be impressive with the Clarisys speakers.

Here is a link to the Michi 8 amps that was compared to the much more expensive darTZeel NHB-468 amps.

unclewilbur,

I think it sounds like that amp would work well with Clarisys. Is it mono blocks?

I think the Minuet is supposed to be 6 ohm nominal.

sc53,

Have you heard the Clarisys speakers?

unclewilbur,

I actually don’t have the Coda amps. I am using the Michi 8 mono blocks.

As to the Clarisys speakers, they are the best I have ever owned or quite frankly any that I have heard. That is Wilson, Focal, Magnepan, Martin Logan and many others. I can only imagine what their top-of-the-line sound like. (and the size, weight, cost, yikes!)

To me, they have all the sound quality of the best box speakers with the soundstage of Planers. Surprising, the bass is very powerful. But I still use subs at 45hz at a low level.

As to the price, yes, they were more expensive than I wanted to pay. I was able to trade in my Focal’s and negotiated a good overall deal delivered price.

I have never had a problem with the What's Best Forum.
