So my dear Good Captain, Davey in my book has a alot of credibility with also alot of credibility in the bank!!
You my Good Captain have "NONE">>>
Wow, what a scary rant. It didn't make much sense I'm afraid.
1) I've NOT been critical of Gunned speakers one way or another.
2) Mods of any kinds don't make anyone intrinsically aware of how Gunned speakers sound.
3) Owning gear doesn't give anyone any credentials of any kind. Just because my friend, an industry professional, likes the Gunned speakers, does not mean I'll like them.
4) What I object to is people talking out of their respective arses about gear they have not tried. Still worse, they seem to be looking to make negative comments to make about gear that has many fans. It DOES in fact sound like jealousy. See #1.
Now....if owning gear gives some sort of credentials I've included a pic of my dedicated sound and theater room. You can see the Maggies "at rest" off to the side.
Current: For Music: Maggie 1.6/QR's (Mye stands on order). Modified Odyssey Stratos amp, Un-modded Rogue Metis preamp, Underwood modified Jolida 100A CD player, Modded Oppo SACD player, Audioquest cable. All running on it's own dedicated house circuit. I'm still testing music only subs. I've tried Martin Logan Depth, Abyss and Fathom 113. Currently leaning towards ordering twin depths, but awaiting more break-in time on everything else and the stands.
For theater: Denon/Rotel power to SVS 7.1 speaker system with SVS subwoofer, 120 inch Cinema White screen, Mitsubishi HD projector to Blu-Ray, HD and HD Cable sources.
Previous speaker systems: Carver Ribbons, B&W, Freid, Canton, Royd, Snell, Spica, Heybrook, Paradigm, Canton....and a lowly pair of 1st generation Wharfdale Diamonds.
Does that give me some sort of credentials, or does it just mean I had some money to spend? The ONLY credential that matters is 1st hand listening experience with a given component. If you don't have it, your comments about gear are worthless.
Cheers,
Robert

"YOU SIR HAVE NO 1st HAND EXPERIENCE" yet you are posting about the wonders of Peter's speakers!!> > > >
And just in case no one noticed....the above is a 100% lie. I NEVER said I heard the speakers, let alone commented about their performance. The ONLY thing I did was cite the experience of someone I know.
Several people here have been critical of the Gunned speakers without hearing them, but I'm not one of them.
You might do better in a debate if you don't fabricate points of view to support an argument with no foundation to begin with. Davey did not start this thread. He joined it and it's very clear to anyone with even a glossy understanding of psychology what's going on.
As for Gunned Maggies...I plan to send my in down the road. I'm confident that I'll get a better and certainly better looking speaker in return. At THAT point, after they break in, I'll offer MY impressions. Until that time there is only a SINGLE fact available to us: Those who HAVE heard them are impressed.
And everything else is a fat load of BS. I don't care what you've modded or copied.
Cheers,
The Good Captain

It's part of my glossy, multi-legged, sinister master-plan to torpedo PG's efforts and bring him down. :)
His backlog stretches to 2010...He has a devoted fan/customer base...His fabrication skills are second to none. His mods are not over-priced (IMHO.) I'm really doing a good job with my plan, aren't I? :)
Oops, hang on. I have to go fuel the black helicoptors to make their nightly pass over PG's house.
Cheers,
Dave.
