I have seen and read about some amazing systems on What’s Best Forum. The only site whose users give Mike Lavigne some competition in all-out no-holds-barred achievements in home listening rooms. The squabbles there are similarly elevated. The horn people vs the planar people have gone some rounds, and I learned a lot just reading the back and forth. I’m just a box lady myself. Since I retired I have tried a taste of some other speaker technologies, but so far only a single-driver speaker by Omega with a low-powered tube amp by Alan Eaton sounds as good to me as my Audio Physics with BAT tube monoblocks. The guys on What’s Best Forum are way way beyond my knowledge and experience, but I enjoy their perspectives.
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.
