$40.000 speaker advise. Check out my list

FYI, I recommend that people should demo Vandersteens all the time (the last time was a week or so ago on the Stereophile forum). Just because I don't like them, doesn't mean people shouldn't hear them.

Since so many people do like them, and because they represent a niche approach to audio that many pundits applaud, I tell people that they might like them even though I don't. I just don't like subjective opinions being paraded around as facts.

Jkalman, you are more than welcome to enjoy your "great" thing, I just don't understand your need to force feed your "great" to others. I am no fan of Wilson speakers, obviously, but I would also encourage demo's to those that are interested. I wouldn't encourage demo's to those that are not interested. 20 of the 84 posts on this thread belong to you, raving ad nasuem about a speaker that is not even in the running. While your youthful enthusiasm is to be lauded, you are starting to sound like the proverbial "used car salesman" here.

I suggest you start your own thread singing the praises of Wilson speakers, then feel free to sing to your hearts content. It's not polite to hijack anothers thread though. Mentioning the Wilson's would have been fine, but 20 replies out of 84 is ram-rodding your unsolicited opinions. It's like watching a train wreck now at this point.

About the only thing Max now got out of this thread is that it's better off NOT to ask questions. Maybe next time Max you need to throw in a legal disclaimer like Meagan02 did on this thread.
"While some may be tempted to throw in a red herring by recommending some other preamp, thanks--but that's not what I'm asking."
FWIW, even that is not 100% effective, but it did help somewhat.

What would NASA Carlos do?

Jkalman, you honestly don't think man has a obsession for money and material?

If not you must be brand new to america, cause materialism is unfortunately strong in this country and fancy audio is no different then a fancy house or boat.

You obviously need to be right so your right as far as I am concerned.

Jmcgrogan2,

Yada yada yada...

I get it Jmcgtogan2, I don't like your speakers so you continue to make red herring posts attacking me personally and my posts. Perhaps you should take your own advice, since your posts so far, except for one, have nothing to do with this thread and are only aimed at attacking me. It is ironic that you try to pretend there is any logic in your argument when it is only hypocracy at its best. If you don't like it, don't post, thus taking your own advice.
