| so many speakers "Wrong! And on so many levels"See! We can't even get agreement on the fact that my Polks are the equal of the Wilson Maxx. If we can't get agreement on something this obvious, what chance is there of coming to agreement on more contentious questio... | |

| so many speakers "Surely there's a consensus that there are audible differences among speakers!"Yes, there can be differences. But, I think there are fewer differences than we might think. If we could really test them, we would find that there are 'groups' of spea... | |
| so many speakers "If the answer (or consensus) is "NO," then how can one in the market for new speakers make an intelligent and informed decision?"There is NO CONSENSUS concerning ANYTHING on this site. Ask ANY question about ANYTHING and you will see. You cannot ... | |
| Breaking in speaker cables?? "Once again you prove that you don't know your ass from a lightning rod. I don't have a lot of cable. I have a very, very, expensive small piece of cable."Well, don't you have an erector set or tinker toy thingys?? Make a small building!! Jeez, do... | |
| so many speakers "but if your speakers are discriminating against drummers they are making arbitrary decisions and need a stern talking to." They are also in violation of the 1964 civil rights act which bans discrimination against signals based on it's frequency. | |

| Breaking in speaker cables?? "Why not just put one end into the amp and the other into the speaker?"What's the point of being AUDIOPHILES if things are that simple? We might as well be normal people. I see you have a lot to learn about high-end audio. I would have thought tha... | |
| Do headphones requiere break-in? "I didn't have the gumption to ask him to explain the whys and wherefors, just thought he knows what he's talking about.'What a wasted oppourtunity. One of THEM actually stepped down from Mt Olympus to speak with us mortals, and you froze!!! How c... | |
| Do headphones requiere break-in? My HD650 and AKG 702 sounded great from the first day til this day. My Grado SR60 sounded bad from the first day until this day. They are not very good. And they are uncomfortable also. Another high-end legend. Same category as the Sony 5400 entry... | |
| Breaking in speaker cables?? "Can you break speaker cables in with the speaker disconnected"eeerrrrrrr current has to flow. don't it? Of course it really does not matter since 'break in' in just part of high-end nonsense. | |
