Hey Y'all,

"You can't make me?” Where the hell are we, the grade school playground? Look, dicotyledonous, come up with a system and explain your experience with Maggies or shut the *&%# up. This whole thread has become tired and you sound like someone who's just starving for attention. If you would like to continue receiving the attention you so crave, give us something to help build yourself some credibility around here. In other words, put up or shut up.........John

As hard as it is for me to resist, I'm going to let this baby go. Ain't worth it.. He'll be back. Aren't we lucky?

Didactically, listen more and talk less! I went back to read your posts, and some things are evident. You have a great command of the English language, and express yourself quite eloquently. Unfortunately, most of your post are a tiresome repeat of the same themes:

1) You are a disciple of Seigfried Linkwitz, and any other theory or opinion about high end audio is HERESY!

2) Distortion figures and bandwidth are the only measurements of an amp's quality. The Halfer DH-200/220, for the money, is the best amplifier ever produced!

3) Any speaker that is not a dipole is inferior.

4) Your mantra and holy chant is 'true to the original'. I don't have the slightest idea what this means [reread my post of 9/16...reread it carefully!] You might also want to read about pure class A amplification vs. class A/B amplification, single ended vs. push-pull, notch distortion, and phase inversion.

5) It is obvious that you have far more THEORETICAL OPINIONS, which have been postulated by others, than actual listening experiences. Spend some money and attend an audio show, so you will finally hear the difference between THEORY, and the real world of musical listening.

6) As your experience grows, you will be able to offer relevant and germane advice specific to the question, and not merely responding by rote. You ignores many variables that others recognize, but you have turned a blind eye (ear) to these. Some of you statements are so ludicrous as to be embarrassing.

Again, enjoy your music, and your system, and don't be surprised if your theoretical babbling soon gives way to listening in the real world of high end audio as you grow in this hobby.

My first pre-amp 35 years ago was a solid state turd from Crown..I bought it because the distortion rating was .00000001.. that was 35 years ago..Now I listen.. to make up my own mind. Natural transparency and phase coherency are what make it right for me.. Not that solid state is bad, its just back then.. it was.Tom

I am with Warren on this one, you can only beat a dead horse for so long- another time :) I am glad some others see BS that I thought was flowing in our direction.

Sorry for pirating your thread Mwthorne, it was not my intent but you have to have credible posts or the contents are worthless.
