Dr. Geddes,
I do not believe that the music was not as loud as you claim. Perhaps it was, but I do not think so. "Loudly" is a rather subjective evaluation, so I'll set that aside, since we're not supposed to allow subjectivisim to cloud the issues we discuss regarding loudspeakers...
Either way, you WEREN'T just speaking to be heard by Akilish - he was standing right next to you - you spoke much more loudly than you would have had you only been talking to him. You barked out your comments AT ME as you pointed at our loudspeaker, and obviously expected a reply.
You weren't looking at Akilish when you spoke out, you were looking at ME, sir - I did NOT "butt in" with my comments. As I posted previously, I replied to your attack, you replied back, I replied again, and you left.
Perhaps you didn't leave in a huff - it is entirely possible that I misinterpreted your natural demeanor as though you were miffed as you turned on your heel and paced away quickly. If that is the case, then I apologize for my incorrect interpretation...

By the way - Mantaray is one word, not two, be it a living water creature or a high-frequency horn...

I am sorry that you feel that I singled you out to complain about. That is not what I thought I was doing and certainly not characteristic of me.
I virtually never give personal subjective opinions of anything and if you ask arround you will find that this is true. So your claim that I said that "I didn't like ..." did not sound right to me from the begining.
In fact I am always very careful not to do what you claim I did. I will answer reasonable questions (Like "What do you think of the Mantaray horn?" with a technical answer, which I did, but never a subjective one. I gave a purely technical answer with no claim of good or bad either way.
My being loud and pointing to the speaker and declaring it anything is just not like me. If I was loud then it was because there was masking noise, and having a serious hearing loss I am more prone to masking noise than others. So my "loud" was nothing more than a normal state of occurance for me in that situation.
I left the room promptly to avoid just what you claim I did, i.e. being asked about my subjective opinion. I prefer not to give it, but it always sounds "high brow" to say that in a public setting when asked.
Your claims of what you think I did just does not ring true with me, and I doubt that they ring true with anyone else.
Again, I had no intention of maligning your speakers in any way and I am sorry if you perceived it that way.
