SilverSport Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I bet he'll be back...these things seem to be cyclical...the potential for the exchange of knowledge is too great a draw...(not from me, I only watch...[8-|])... Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 It's a divorce of the worse kind -- irreconcilable differences. I know Al pretty good -- he won't be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Definitely a sad day and a great loss to the forum[]. As a relatively new member I appreciate the time Al took to answer all of my questions no matter how elementary they must have seemed to him. I usually considered his comments as the final word in most discussions. I hope Al will reconsider after some time has passed....but if not... all the best in the future.

jwc Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Al was/is a major draw for me to this forum. He will be missed greatly. I will still contact him by email if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spongeworthy Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Apparantly I missed something. Could somebody tell me what is going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 A thread discussing xovers lead to an exchange between Al and a forum rep resulting in Al deciding to end his association with the forum. This is the version I heard and may not be all of the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1101 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I would like to say that I am a fan of Als as well. I am not a fan of the attitudes and negative posts that portrayed the frustration and digust however. I wish it were different. I will certainly continue to contact Al when I need his assistance and/or products. I am a fan because Al's network designs are the best I have run across....plain and simple. Plus, he offers sound advice in his area of expertise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Darn, I always planned on getting his ALKs, but never had the extra scratch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-MAN Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Shheesh! It's not like he's dead or something - he has his own website, for crying out loud! www.alkeng.com He also has an email address: al@alkeng.com DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I didn't notice the referenced thread, but I was sort of scratching my head seeing a locked thread with one post. It was Al's avatar and user name of anonymous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frzninvt Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Pretty sad day when you leave out of sheer frustration. Apparently, the realm of continuous improvement to current crossover designs fell on deaf ears which is sad, and not the direction that any speaker corporation should take. At least listen and take in what you can in an effort to improve what is currently in place instead of taking the "I am holyier than thou approach" perhaps an open mind and desire to provide the best that is available should have been the stance taken here. I never purchased AL's networks because honestly they were a bit cost prohibitive for me since I have so many speakers. His design's did filter down (pardon the pun) into some of DeanG's work and those are present in my speakers as well as John Albright's work and both were considerable improvements over the aging original Klipsch networks. Al offered his design's, help, information, and feedback to all forum members at no cost, and he will be missed on this forum for sure. I'm out!

j-malotky Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Al, if you ever visit and read this, I want you to know that the set of 3 x-overs you built for me are enjoyed byme and my family every night. They were worth every penny. JM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.4knee Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Yeah I too valued Al's commentary and advice. I absolutely love the universal network kits I got from him I'll likely upgrade to his ESN's one day. I also recognize he let his fuse blow a little to quickly. I understand his passsion but IMO that must be balanced with ability to accept the fact there are some thigns you can change and there are others you cannot. Al could not seem to get past that point and that is a shame his input and guidance will be missed very much around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-MAN Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Somebody fill us (who missed the original thread) in - we missed all the fun! Aside from Al K. taking his toys and going home, what effect is this going to have on Roy?I, for one, still want Roy to participate freely in the forum and I'm afraid that it will have the opposite effect.DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
