The best and worst Audiogon poster's

I think you people should make a peace! Everybody has right on their opinion, and no reason to make enemies over the "net"! Also, i despise anybody else "ganging-up" on one person (Grumpy and Gino)when they have no idea what is "bickering" all about! I like Carl, but there is not reason to "hate" Tml2. I never met the guy! So if they (Carl v Tml) have to "square-off", let it be between themselves! Cheers (per Garfish)! Anyway, never to ask you, what "Garfish" stands for...??

You can say that again! The answer is ECONOMICS! Mid-west and especialy South is economicaly depressed! I live down Deep South, and everything here remainding me on the "Third World"( with the exception to New Orleans, Mobile and couple of select cities) where i came from! The middle-class virtualy doesn't exist! There is rich ("old" money, good ol' boy society) and working-two jobs "poor". I am talking about Biloxi MS, which despite "Casinos", didn't show any economic progress. Cost of living is higher as ever, ...Union representatives have been chased away, even though great number of workers showed the interest. Local government and local News media "interfered" on the behalf of the "Casino's" to keep Status-Quo! We are talking about "basic" survival here, forget about the "luxury". Buying power is reduced to early to mid eightie's! I am sure looking to go back West! Always go West! Regards!

I said the same thing...once! Audio is secondary to me. I am "conversing" with some nice people in this "audio world", which most people really do not understand. I think, that this "chase" for the "perfect sound" is actually, chase for the comunication! Comunication that the music is comunicating the "emotions", that ads little bit of pleasure, to most of us. Better the amp-speaker, communcator, more expensive supposed to be? or maybe the "escapeism". Escape from horrible jobs, mean spirited wife, clogged-up plumbing, rent-lady, flat tire, lawyers, cancer, hemohrroids (spell?)broken shoe-lace before going to work...etc etc. I listen my music, most of the time,in the car on the way to work, or in my work shop (painting studio)on the $10 Sony transistor! And even after the years of listening "classical", more stuff is there that i never heard before! I am mosttly into "rooshians" Germans and som,e italian composers! Ithink Brams, stole from Beethoven. And there is explanation for this "rumbling"...and that is the second bottle of Lindemans, Australian Cabarnet Souvignon, vintage 1998 (Highly recommended!)only $8. And soon the planet earth, wont be such a bad place to be on! Cheers!

Nothing but case of misdirected animosity. You people do not know a damn thing about the person you are attacking. Carl, you should ignore these insults. One more thing, you were right about Focal tweeters. Mine started "ringing", at higher volumes. But i am lucky, ACI will replace them with "Scan Speak"( 9300 i think?)
