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.

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.

I am impressed that this thread has evolved to discussing audio (cool speakers!) and not fallen into a nasty debate like many of them!

I listened to the Clarisys at The Show in Costa Mesa this last weekend along with many others. If I had the money in my pocket and was there to buy, I would have left with a pair of Piega Coax loudspeakers. By far my favorite of all I listened to at the show. Of course, the 90k system that was running them did have a little to do with it. J Sikora turntable and phono stage, Lyra cartridge, Air Tight amp and  pre amp, Luna and Shunyata cables.

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.

besides the system, maybe the synergy too. Cheaper components can have synergy also and can sound great. That's my excuse for being poor.
