Well if you're a troll I am not sure but I was defending Jason in my post. He thought he had blown the speaker - I don't think that he did - I think it was either already partially blown (it sounded flabby on bass passages and as if it was rubbing) before the last hours of the show.
Jason may have felt guilty for blowing them and I don't believe he did. It may have gone unnoticed at first if he was playing strings. The driver was still physically working when I was there. He may have pushed it over the edge but it didn't go from perfectly working driver to dead stop, smell the sulfer in the room, blown driver.
Regardless - you called out old school for lying. Please tell us how you draw that conclusion. There was clearly something wrong with the woofer - Mr. Serinus stated this in his show report. Seems to me Old School was being truthful.
So what's the problem? The shame here is you calling out posters with no evidence.

If I recognise your defense of Jason, I'm not troll?
"Regardless - you called out old school for lying."
You're the one saying old school, didn't fully understand, what he thought he heard. As you're now saying Jason's assessment was also inaccurate.
"So what's the problem? The shame here is you calling out posters with no evidence."
I've called out no one. You're calling out yourself.
Yes, I was in several rooms where Serinus asked for the volume to be turned up. As I have stated, Serinus was often correct that the sound was at a too low volume. The small Magico room was continually playing music too loud (over 105 db via my Radio Shack meter). RGA is certainly correct that it's extremely hard to compare systems at different volume levels. The MBL, smaller Magico, and Legacy rooms were all playing at way too high levels for me. Many rooms were playing at too low volume levels. Hard to compare. I liked the levels in the Electrocompaniet, Focal, Vivid, Sonist, Acoustic Zen, and Audio/Vision's Kef 50 room. I was very surprised at the effortless way the low power Unison Research amp (reviewed by Sam Tellig in the August Stereophile) drove the Kef 50 speaker. Plus the sound was palpable and tonally ravishing! This is a new speaker to hear for sure, especially in small rooms.
Thanks for clearing that up. What the deal with the blown woofer? It just seems it would be, to obvious to ignore. Perhaps they were having fun just prior to closing. Of course, I'm speculating.
