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.

OP...The About Us page is "truly disturbing"???? I'm avaliable for on-line counciling for the low low price of only $499 per hour...Or I take low milage "Teslers" in trade...

I read your story about Clarisys speakers and Coda amps.

I'd like to know what you think about the Clarisys speakers now that you've had them for a while. Do you think they're worth the high price? Are they the best planar magnetic speakers? Do you like the amps?

My dream system is Clarisys Minuets, and Accuphase A-300 monoblocks. What do you think?

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.

Thanks for taking time to describe your Minuets. I'm two thousand miles away from the speakers at Suncoast Audio,  so actually hearing them is a big challenge. But I've read everything I can find and my gut feeling is that the Clarisys is the best. They seem overpriced, overbuilt, but looks like the best design for a planar magnetic speakers. 

~Thanks for the information!
