CWelsh Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I like the way he thinks, but he sure rambles a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWelsh Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 He has obviously edited this (note the choppy video) which suggests to me his unedited rambling would drive me bats*** crazy...LOL. And, while I do agree with him, I can't imagine any "audiophiles" slapping a palm to the forehead after watching and admitting that they have been wrong all along. Loved the story about the guy telling him how wrong he was about the Elac speakers then admitting he had never heard them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeydeal Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Just keep in mind, sometimes you actually do get what you pay for. Not every time, but more often than not, a thing costs more because you get more. I have found that many times when someone in an audio forum (not just this one) poo poos something expensive, either they can't afford it or are really trying to justify some cheap crap they bought instead. Again, not every time, YMMV, etc. etc........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I like the guy alright, pretty entertaining. BUT, he's talkin audiosnobs not audiophiles. That audiophiles covers most people on this forum, as you prolly know..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, not every time, YMMV, etc. etc........ That is what got me buying B&W speakers. I kept hearing them being trashed on here and saw a pair of DM3000 local on Craigslist. Never heard a pair. No intention of buying. Listened for a few minutes and made a deal, then on to the 800 series. I came full circle back to the Palladiums, which according to this forum are either great speakers, junk, or 'for what you paid for those you could have gotten ___________.' Depends on the season, not sure if they are good or bad around here anymore. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny! I've had the P-17's and P-27c center-- liked both they certainty had their own sound to them, would love to check out a set of towers someday.

I've been doing a bit of soul searching since this whole Carver 275 debacle-- $2750 for a 15x2 tube amp which was advertised as a 75x2. Honestly I didn't do a lot of research before purchasing trusted the name and it seemed to fit what I was looking for. After the fact I've been looking at what I could get to replace it and there's literally dozens and dozens (probably over 100) of tube amps from $200 up to $25k. It's almost information overload and I have no idea what each piece would sound like. I really don't want to go on a years long quest flipping through equipment any longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiva Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I thought the same thing. Very close. In the audiophiles are full of crap vid.

I didn't watch the video, but Fortes or Heresys would be perfect for that room. They actually would integrate much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
