| Talk but not walk? Hi glupson,Certainly not taken personally!I honestly think a thread like this can be, and to some degree has been, turned into something somewhat valuable. I think it’s a good thing to identify the types of posts that are "bad faith" style posts, ... | |
| Talk but not walk? Off course Michael just ignores that my evaluation of his OP, the points I’ve raised, and my repeated requests for clarifications were acknowledge by several others here as valid and on point. (And I’ve also received various private correspondence... | |
| Talk but not walk? So Michael, you have taken your vague and insinuating OP and simply augmented it with equally vague and insinuating paragraphs.Is it possible we will ever get anything specific from you?I mean you once again disparage some mystery person or person... | |
| Talk but not walk? uberwaltz,I’d say geoffkait is *very* familiar with MG’s modus operandi. Have you ever seen their exchanges on the Stereophile forum? I only just stumbled upon them and...lemme tell ya...watching these evangelical purveyors of flaky audio products... | |
| Talk but not walk? uberwaltz,I disagree that this thread ever really had a chance to be somehow worthwhile. There are some issues touched upon in the OP that I think are extremely worthwhile and COULD have made for some really great conversation - e.g. the role of ... | |
| Talk but not walk? glupson,Thanks for your comment. I take your critique and suggestions seriously.I admit the somewhat trollish nature of the OP - even if inadvertent as I explained - does represent a trend that pisses me off, and certainly that came through. But... | |
| New Speakers up to $15k - The more I read the less I know! My 2 cents on the Harbeth (and other wide baffle designs):The Harbeth speakers - the larger ones included - do a surprising level of "disappearing" as sound sources. Not what you’d expect from looking at them. So their design philosophy does seem ... | |
| Talk but not walk? Thanks very much uberwaltz. We don't need people to just simply agree with one another so much as to at least listen to the case made by someone holding a different view (and hopefully understand and interact with it, even if to show it is unsoun... | |
| Talk but not walk? I just wanted to explain why I even bothered entering this thread.Part of it is that I am quite concerned about the level of discourse on forums like Audiogon. I really think we should be able to disagree with one another and not be castigated for... | |
| Talk but not walk? glupson,I hear you. Though I think "evasive" or "dismissive" are still apt descriptors of MG’s replies to my posts (and some others) in this thread.But yes, of course his relentless self-promotion across many forums no doubt draws some people to h... | |
| Talk but not walk? Aaaand....again from Michael we don’t get any more answers or clarifications, only more disparaging comments, where he and his pals laugh at anyone here who dares question Michael’s wisdom.Maybe my friends and me are just a bunch of snobs. Maybe?R... | |
| Thiel Owners ronkent,Wow, another person with both the 2.7s and 3.7s! Looks like we are in a similar scenario. Though I've decided to sell the 3.7s. I'm just trying to decide whether to sell them myself, or accept a nice trade in price from a local dealer fo... | |
| Talk but not walk? glupson,Thanks.Nowhere in this thread have I disparaged MG’s products or his room tuning ideas. I did not even take those to be the subject of the thread. Because his OP did not even refer to room tuning, but rather to a much broader complaint abo... | |
| Talk but not walk? michaeal,Again...the same problem.You produced a vague original post, disparaging some unnamed group of people for talking the talk, but not walking the walk.You disparaged people who "talk" but don’t "walk" and I was asking what exactly you are r... | |
| Talk but not walk? Hi Michael,I’m sorry you feel this way. Thanks.You got it wrong.I'd be very glad to understand how! I like knowing how I've got something wrong. it's how we learn. I'm very much in the camp that empirical understanding is really important, so I... |
