I hate my iPad..... Where do some of these so-called corrections come from? "wafinally looted"? Wtf?!? She "was completely floored."
Ugh, anyway.... The switch from Vandys to another speaker was yet another example of Audiophile 'attitude' but this time from 'Dick' Vandersteen himself. I've mentioned it from time to time on different forums but I'll put the story in this thread as well. Suffice it to say that he was so offensive that he convinced me to never buy anything from him again and to sell my entire Vandy home theater. To this day I think that he is a second rate person despite having a first rate audio mind. Quite a shame.
Anyway, this was ten years ago that this happened. The Vandys are long gone and I've long since become a Magnepan 'ho, so I didn't wander too far from ML conceptually. But it is amazing how much impact one idiot can have. I'd have likely bought seven new MLs if not for this loser. After coming to watch movies my friends might have done the same. And now, ten years later, as my wife and I look to upgrade, instead of looking at Maggie 3s, we would be looking to upgrade MLs. So one fool cost ML $30k in guaranteed sales so far. That won't put them under but a long shot, but you do that enough times and any company goes from a great speaker manufacturer to an interesting piece of audio history.
So, I wanna hear YOUR stories folks..... And I'll type up my story with 'Dick' Vandersteen, I promise.
