totem arro

I admit that I am not the best judge of the Arros due to the relatively short time I had them, while acknowledging their many fine qualities.

Yet, despite admitting you never put the requisite hours on them to break them in, and despite admitting in other threads you never had the time to set them up properly, you continue to comment about how you didn't care for them, and ultimately sold them.

Doesn't seem quite right to judge the speakers based on your insufficient time with them, wouldn't you agree?

Tvad,

I'm offering a comparison, for whatever it's worth, with full disclosure of the possible limitations of that comparison, in the hopes that some people may find those experiences useful. Why do you feel a need to chastise me for that? What's that about?

For your part, you have on several occasions shared your negative experiences with Ohm speakers, a sharing of experiences to which you are fully entitled.

Respectfully submitted...

ok everybody..take a deep breathe, i feel as i started something here, not my intentions to do so. we all have strong opinions concerning equipment we have owned, as debbi admitted , and i applaud that. let face it, we all don't know until we do what the builder suggest, we very seldom read the paperwork and give any thing a real chance. I have done it and we all have done it, debbi, enjoy your ohm, ill enjoy my arro, everybody, listen to music and enjoy this hobby which we all take to seriously and become too addicted....dwhiit

Dwhitt,

Well put, thanks. :-)

...we very seldom read the paperwork and give any thing a real chance.

I cannot agree with this.

If you read the threads carefully, I believe you will find the vast majority of contributors follow break-in procedures and do careful listening during the process before they make subjective comments.

What's the value of opinion based on listening to something that hasn't been given the full break-in recommended by the manufacturer?

If a reviewer did this, would you give any credence to his comments?
