RE: Meaning of Second Sentence

WHAT WENDELL DILLER WAS DOING WAS TELLING THE TRUTH and trying to do it gently and with good humor.

Sorry for shouting, but I've worked in pro audio and video for many years, and I've also been a hobbyist, and if you think that the dabbling we do in a place like this is anything like what goes on in professional surroundings you're seriously naive.

This is an AMATEUR activity. It bears much the same relationship to professional activity that a home movie does to an episode of Star Wars.

Wendell Diller does NOT need us to tell him how he should design his speakers. We know LESS about planar design and Magnepan's market than he does. He's been doing this full time for years.

And if his job is like any I've ever had, he doesn't have time to "confirm or deny" tweaks because he's trying to get new products out the door and yeah, he's concerned with the bottom line, because his job, and that of the people he works with, depends on it.

Sorry, but I'm getting tired of seeing this guy crucified because he alluded, however gently, to what I would have thought was an obvious truth. The one piece of business advice I would ever give him would be to refrain from doing this in the future, because it's obvious that anything other than empty-headed phony PR flattery is going to be taken the wrong way by people who mistake their erector sets for a construction company.
