Hi Boonie
There is no evidence on your blog?

Yes, there is. There are quite a few posts about receiving them,
unpacking them and setting them up, all with photos. In a couple of
the entries, there are congratulatory comments from the US distributor
on purchasing them. Duh.

There is nothing to show that you
have actually demo'd those speakers.

Demo'd? What the hell are you talking about? I own a pair. They're in
my listening room.

There maybe doubting Thomas's
who may try to suggest you looked up an expensive model that is unlikely
to ever be heard by any in these groups and concocted a "review"?

So far you're the only one. And you're a bit thick in the head it
seems. I have no desire to prove anything to someone like you. I've
been on RAO for 12 years, and most of the people there know me, have
been to my house or know me on a professional level. When I say I have
a new piece of equipment, there is no reason to doubt me because many
of these people know me and know what I do. And then you come along
and request proof that I've demo'd them? LoL.

Please post a link to the "evidence" just so as to squash any doubts.

It's been given to you already. I'm not jumping through hoops for an
Internet dweeb such as yourself. Either you can follow directions or
you can't.

And Boonie, you haven't been able to form a counter argument or
supply a pic, you just resort to silliness. You even use "LOL" and "heh
heh".

Because you're a clown. You make me laugh.

Just on your few posts an image has been conjured up of an individual
who veers from raging indignation to cackling and giggling as you type?
Calm down and relax....

You like to tell people to calm down and relax. You like to pretend
that you know what they look like while they're sitting at their
keyboards. Of course this is what you WANT them to look like because
you like to fantasize that you're so clever that you send people into
fits by your mere words.

But you're not clever, are you. In fact, I've watched you make mistake
after mistake while responding to me as if you don't really understand
what I'm telling you .That's a real newbie move, just like when you
invoked Godwin's Law on your very first response to me. I had a good
laugh at that as well.


I Live in Austria, I'll be having a word with one or two peeps...
When you're proven wrong, will you be a man about it and admit it?

What am I to be proven wrong about?

That I currently own a pair of T&F ARTs, of course. That's what we're
talking about. My, you're obtuse. You're just backpedaling after you
realized that my blog had all the evidence you needed...the very blog
that you reported you've already seen.

You post claiming you've demo'd
a pair of speakers and acrediting them with capabilites, I voice my doubts!

And no one cares.


I don't really live in Austria.

I noticed. I also noticed that your absurd claim, after trashing T&F
speakers, that you have someone on the inside that would tell you if I
had a pair or not. So you've been caught in two lies now.

What are you having for lunch today?

Your credibility, it seems.

At least he's hit bottom...which is why he had to trade his Toyota

*I noticed Boon refuses to address the salient points made about their
anemic bass response.

That's because I don't hear an anemic bass response. The last time I
heard an anemic bass response was when you tried to set your Quad ESLs
on rickety wooden footstools. THAT was anemic.

* It's pretty clear to me that you have no idea why Quads don't
benefit from big heavy stands or spikes etc.
*Do you want to take a guess or continue to act the ignorant fool?

All the engineering know-how in the world won't get you past the fact
that your Quads sounded awful because you set them up improperly. I
did notice that you had them set up in a diagonal arrangement...I
guess you were so impressed with the sound of my system set up that
way that you had to copy it. That's why your current indignation is so
hard to believe--you once followed everything I told you about audio
and actively sought my advice, until you started ruining RAO with your
political spamming and your doltish behavior. When I called you on it,
I instantly became an audio fraud. You possess a profound lack of
credibility. You always have.


BTW, it was your admired friend Graham who advised to elevate the
quads.
He was right.

You should elevate the Quads. That's why the Arcici stands were so
effective in their day.

You're so clueless about audio that you think my objections to your
rickety footstools are that they elevate the Quads? Are you really
this dumb?

*You're just an ignorant flameboy who over the years is
only second to George in diminishing this groups ability to host
serious audio discussions



*I'm sure they would benefit greatly from even a modest subwoofer, but
sub integration is beyond Boons setup knowledge.

Except for the fact that I've reviewed subwoofers and had the
manufacturers stop by to determine if I had set them up properly...and
I had. The proof is in print.

*Yet you consistently deny the benefits of a sub which is basically
essential to complement any bookshelf for true high end audio.

I don't deny the benefits of a sub. But I do think a full-range
speaker is a far better and far more coherent solution.



You know, Scott, you keep saying really stupid things to me, and I
just shoot them down all day long. I think makes you the bottom in our
relationship.

*The bottom has certainly dropped out of your writing skills.

Since you're functionally illiterate, you are no judge.

been on RAO for 12 years, and most of the people there know me, have
been to my house or know me on a professional level.

*I don't doubt you have some new speakers. I doubt your claims on
their performance as you've never demonstrated on any gear you've ever
owned any decent bass.

What are my claims to their performance?

*You've made some ridiculous claims on speakers...claiming one set was
flat to 30hz (which the 50 hz spec did not come close to support) only
to amend that claim to require room was required correction to get the
output required.

Name the speaker that I said was flat to 30hz and was actually really
just flat to 50 hz.

I doubt you ever realized how ridiculous that claim was.

Your biggest mistake is saying that I made claims about speaker
performance at all. In reality, I made statements such as "they're
supposed to be flat to blah-blah-blah." I gave you this information to
give you some background on the speaker, not because I was some
salesman trying to get you to buy them. So what I said was not any
sort of claim at all, but the manufacturer's specs. Moron.

This is one of the biggest clues about your Aspergers...you simply
cannot understand things like context. I had you and Art over not to
show off my system, but to allow you guys exposure to some of the
things I was reviewing. Somehow you've twisted this into me wanting to
show off my system and getting your approval. I may have really liked
some of the gear I was reviewing, but that was my opinion. I remember
all three of us really liking the Devores a lot.


You are very often full of audio BS and all you offer in support of
your ridiculous statements is obnoxious attitude.

And yet everytime you have challenged me on audio subjects, I have
crushed you like a bug into the ground.

There's a reason for that. It has to do with your RAO nickname.

You're a huge jerk, Scott. Jim Sanders had you pegged, George had you
pegged and I have you pegged. Throw in most of RAO, the Chargers group
and the Padres, and the consensus seems to be that you're a huge jerk.
And yet you can't think of anything better to do with your weekend
than hang out with people who criticize and despise you. I wouldn't
trade one minute of my life for yours. Not one second.

Loser.

**You're not looking hard enough. Whilst there are abundant examples of
audio horrors, like this monstrosity:

That is indeed an excellent example. Alarmingly the reviewer refers to
it's
"aesthetic refinement"?? If Johnny Atkinson is reading this...... tut tut.

**Indeed. Deeply disturbing. Every time I look at this POS I almost puke. It
was either designed by or for Chinese peasants.

But then, we have this, quite beautiful, creation:

Well, the link is indeed to a description of a power amp, but the image
I saw appeared to be one of those trouser press things or maybe a vanity
unit awaiting a sink to be fitted?

**Form follows function. It is a superb example. Just because it does not
look like a black box, it does not deserve condemnation.

Here is a product that first caught my eye many years ago, as a
delightful example of how well a design can be implemented:

Pipes!
