I am sorry Alberts speakers strike me as unremarkable....I feel better now ;) |
Wow your a touchy one!
Ofcourse its my opinion.....thats forums 101. I auditioned the 4 Maybe 5 yrs ago and it was ok but nothing special for my tastes. If you and others like them then its all good, just dont take it personal when others dont. |
The only thing I suggest about V.S. speakers is that there just isnt much to them, no game changer, no cuting edge tech and they just dont stand out in the industry. I am in no way saying they are bad....they are just plain and unremarkable. |
I wouldnt buy any speaker that cant be auditioned...you sorta know what a Pre or an Amp will sound like but buying a speaker on faith is IMO foolish. |
I never said I heard it my statement was based on the several models I have heard...I just dont happen to think that company does anything special. I hope it sounds better than it looks and would be interested to se how it stands up to the similar priced Vandersteen. |
you presume alot....but your never wrong I am sure....2 friends owned VS speakers in our audio club but that woulnt fit nicely in your box of assumptions. |
We are not here to reassure the insecure....we are here to trade ideas. I dont happen to think VS is anything special, some dont like speakers I do but you wont see me getting my butt all puckered up about it. |
you need to read closer I said "I am in no way saying they are bad just unremarkable" so it seems my comment is pretty reasonable but if you want to get worked up about it then have at it. |
You guys need a pill, I said there was nothing wrong with his speakers just that IMO his speakers are unremarkable and nothing that up's the speaker game. So you caught me not actually hearing this model in question but if I think the models I have heard were nothing special with their more expensive materials and build quality why would it be likely I find a budget sock wrapped model with even cheaper parts to truely shine? Maybe once I hear them I will change my mind but my experience tells me thats not likely. This isnt your wife or mom guys, its a speaker so chill out.
So entertain me then since your all so eager for Albert, what exactly is ground breaking, cutting edge, or game changing about this speaker........or any of his?
I am looking ever so forward to your enlightenment. |
I would love to know where I "bashed" them and cant help to wonder why some insist on being agreed with, why do those people seem to demand people be in lockstep with their opinions? Get over yourselves. |
String knows what music should sound like as he is a classical performer by trade and I have met him in person. |
According to Albert......lol
I couldnt care less how many were returned but you sound like a 4 yr old ...."my dad says so". |
It just sounded petty and somewhat small minded to take an owners word for it, maybe its true or maybe its marketing but you lapped it up so go with your gut. Just as you say "how dare I" you dont like it when I say that while his speakers are not bad I think they are unremarkable....I mean my gosh.....how dare I?
When you afford yourself sarcasm for your opinion you might do well to do the same for others. But you seem to think your opinion matters and mine isnt to be paid attention. I will try not to trip over the double standard as I exit the room. cheers |
Yes in 5 years I have disovered so many great speakers it became obvious the VS speakers are unremarkable. But way cool life you lead trolling old threads lol. |
Your "way cool" life affords you the time to read my thousands of threads...so celebrate that and stop worrying so much about what and how I do things. Adopt a puppy, be a Big Brother, or whatever it takes to get me off your mind....its starting to feel akward.
This is a thread about a speaker, not world peace, hunger, AIDS, war or anything like it...its about a box that makes noise, some like them and some just dont.....some even said about the company and his speakers "theres nothing wrong with them" (hell you got time....look it up).
So lets chill out guy, your rage has me troubled. |
was it something I said?.....smile cause its a great life when this trivial stuff bugs you so much. Back to life, I will check back in with your insults later! |
Well since you asked I guess it would be rude not to respond, yes some wish I would go away. They are the ones who cant come to grips with me saying that theres is nothing wrong with VS speakers but I just never found them remarkable. So your right there are some but I have been here years and years, been in thousands of threads and can assure you have witnessed much harsher opinions countless times but these fans are a touchy bunch...just exactly why is a mystery. |
Again I said I found Alberts speakers (in general and as a whole) to be IMO unremarkable. I didnt say they were bad I even said there is nothing wrong with them theres just nothing special about them. I figured this was long over but my name has been used again so I have the need and right to respond. I have read and participated in threads with far harsher statements then mine without this over the top reaction. Buy them if you like them, simple enough...right? |
Kinda like you not letting go of this isnt your strong suit? I stand by what I said and if you cant handle that I suppose you will have to come to grips with it all. |
Ironic? Hardly. I reply to those who just cant get over the fact that what I said was no big deal and nothing to get worked up about. So I replied when a post is directed at me. This thread died but you just cant get over it so have your last word cause its obvious you need that.
The thread went 1 week then nearly 2 weeks with not one reply somehow you just had to be heard about nothing, bravo.
I still dont think VS as a company does anything special and I still dont care if you get pissy about it. Time to man up and get over it. |
