In Reply to: Jim Merod may be a nice guy & good engineer. Dunno. But damn, this may be the worst "review" I've...... posted by Rick W on October 6, 2014 at 08:41:34:
The following is just ONE sentence from that review! Absolutely un-readable!!
"The Lord of Audio Doom, hereby my witness—absolving us all from the authority of annual surveys of "most wanted" components whose fine print declares this or that speaker pair in Class B or C to be inadvertently flawed with plump midrange information and possibly lean bass along with (gulp) somewhat underwhelming dynamics, even though it's an honest-to-Jehovah bargain at a price only a decimal less than a new Kia automobile—the following sonic observations are objective in their subjective transcendence: a/ the party of the first part agrees with a hip subset of the other party: to wit, most so called HIGH-FI (or, "high-end") sound systems, frequently expensive and over-the-top, often water their footprints with yellow liquid because insurmountable items of audio majesty yoked into line for their equally insurmountable "wow" value fall short despite {note: because of} a genuine absence of reference to, and knowledge of, the complex seduction of acoustic music delivered in the naked reality of ambient environments; b/ the all purpose Yiddish term, ZAMAGAZUNT, is the "transcendent" authority cited above; c/ like the useful rubric "suck" and/or "sucks"—(cited everywhere, including James Joyce and Graucho Marx)—the above-cited Yiddish admonition stands in for far more blasphemous desecrations that, ultimately, serve angelic functions: e. g., no extreme contempt rendered in blunt or poetic language; no imaginative freedom with untrammeled verbal filth; no power to defend one's sacred spirit from sequester; no bad words (Petrarchean complaint; Faulknearean lament; no fey Buddy Rich-inspired blistering invective; no Shakespearean rhetorical acrostic {see John Milton for corroboration} has ever succeeded in undoing the damage of sustained acoustic suck out; d/ a final digression: disappointment, disgust and disavowal, seldom listed in scholastic lexicons after the Grand Cognitive Burgeoning launched by Samuel Johnson's elaborately cloaked misanthropy, augmented by Jonathan Swift's farcical truth-telling and inverted by Coleridge's higher verbal consciousness, seldom earn adequate privilege to indicate the joy and simple possibility of focused aesthetic appreciation; e/ therefore, global audio illiteracy..."
