| There's No Question @nonoise, you are absolutely correct. The Audiogon forum is not a "watering hole." I shouldn't have used a "bad" word, even if it wasn't directed at anyone. I guess I forgot the forum rules. This forum is supposed to be a meeting of the minds amo... | |
| There's No Question My last response was removed by an Audiogon moderator because I used the "F" word. Is this forum run by China? WTF? We all listen to music. Is it edited for profanity in some places? I am completely done with this forum. Good luck finding great so... | |
| There's No Question @ozzy I paid in full up front. Unless they've changed something since then as far as I know they don't start building them until paid. Their speakers are made to order. | |
| There's No Question I ordered my DIs in November 2020 and didn't get them until February 2021. Maybe I was just one of the lucky customers, but they were worth the wait. When I listen to mine I just can't imagine how another speaker can do better. There really isn't... | |
| There's No Question As stated before, Eric Alexander was not a born businessman. They have to work on some things before they can really be competitive. Alexander is a really smart dude, though, and has kept his company going no matter what the individual issues were... | |
| There's No Question Just because I have spent over 100k on my persuit of happiness doesn't mean that I hit a home run off the bat. | |
| There's No Question @mijostyn The speakers are the "cheapest" thing in my room. My cabling cost at least as much. The room treatments cost as much, and I went the "cheapest" on those. My source components outweigh the cost of the speakers by a long, long, way, includ... | |
| There's No Question @mijostyn Please, by all means, get started. I've greatly enjoyed the conversation. I've been reading Audiogon for years, read every single review of every piece of equipment whether I could afford it or not. This was my first actual post, and I f... | |
| There's No Question Absolutely true. My father-in-law is all about the math. But the math just doesn't work in every room. I know there are a lot of people who do the Cardas thirds rule and call it a day. But that just doesn't do it for me, unless I am in the mood fo... | |
| There's No Question @mijostyn It may be true about inexpensive parts and cabinatry, but the parts in my Maggies that I gave away were also cheap. What you pointed out was that sound matters. What are we even into this hobby for? Is it furniture? Or is it sound? Bette... | |
| There's No Question I like them, too. There are so many things about this hobby that you must get right, I definitely do not prioritize the beauty contest, although as stated before I prefer the smooth surface audio listening experience with few to no listening distr... | |
| There's No Question Foghat- Fool For The City | |
| There's No Question Also intrested in Focals. I have doubts about their capabilities in relation to cost vs. performance comparded to the DI, but I am open to opine. I did take notice of other members' comments as the DI's were "monitors" and I don't disagree. I have... | |
| There's No Question @carlsbad2 For sure. My philosophy about the hobby has more to do with sound than looks. But I also have to admit that my room, though not large, is based on symmetry of sound, i.e. stereo. I am guilty of wanting my room to be fairly distraction-f... | |
| There's No Question @jtcf I've also been curious about the Zu Audio speakers. I like that company. I think they also care about what they do, and probably do it very well. Good luck in your journey. |
