| True or False? The better they are the less tweaks needed to make them sound good. See how that works? | |
| This is very timely... Ouch. You got a point there judge! I agree. There is plenty of craziness and dogma that goes around that is used to try and make the high end seem more special than perhaps it really is? Also a fair share of total nonsense. Things fit for a cult b... | |
| The Worst Room... I have 6 rooms covered by 4 systems and 8 pair of speakers (one spare pair). My best room is my moderately large L shaped room. Not just any speakers work well there but the Ohm Walshes in there were hand picked for it. One is a big open unfinishe... | |
| What Makes your System Special? @dweller I’ve heard Heresy IV and Forte III. Like them both very much. Cornwalls appeal to me also. Which to go with would depend on room and setup options. Nice to have so many good choices. | |

| Banned in Audiogon? Money talks. That explains it all. You speak the language, you win. otherwise...who cares? This is a business site. Otherwise it would not exist. Forum is a granted privilege to help that. No rights involved. See how this works? | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? Uh, oh, people putting words in my mouth..... I spit them back out at you. Read what people say not what you think. Better listening skills I hope. Live and learn. Test too!!! Its all real, very real!!! |
