You have completely missed my points, but I applaud your ability to make such spectacularly snide comments as an ESL.
If the culmination of your 20 years of auditions has led to your current audio line-up, then I suggest you may have wasted the majority.
My attitude and "composition" as you put it, has more to do with the tone of your responses than my diaper wearing time-frame.
Lastly, it is difficult to take someone seriously when they've spent so much money on speaker wire and interconnects. It would not surprise me to hear that you've bought stands to hold your speaker wire above the ground. (As those were the new snake oil product when I was a contributor to the forum)
Your responses haven't been completely off-base, however, so perhaps you have redeemed yourself slightly. I had considered purchasing used speakers, but that would negate the enjoyment I could get from building my own, learning as I go.
Perhaps it is simply a matter of an age difference here, as you tried to bring into the discussion with your last comment. I, as a younger man, have different priorities, quality of hearing and lack the bitterness that years of misguided audiophile adherence has caused. This, of course, is merely conjecture and perhaps totally incorrect.

Typicall arogance from a clueless.
My system is now slightly different than posted, I should update it, but tell me what do you find so wrong with it?
"it is difficult to take someone seriously when they've spent so much money on speaker wire and interconnects"
If you look around this board, there are probably more of those who have the exact oposite opinion. I once thought that wire do not make difference (while I was young and "knew" everything) And btw, I bought those when they were much cheaper and with huge dicounts, probably less that what you paid for your Monsters, dont even start me with your power conditiner (and if you do not believe that wire can make difference why bother with Monsters)
"lack the bitterness that years of misguided audiophile adherence has caused"
Of course, as most of your posts and conclusions in this tread, that has nothing to do with reality but it tells a lot about you.
BTW, I could be speaking chinese and that would not make my knowledge any less worthy. And although english is my second language I can uderstand it better than most naturaly born americans. (I can probably even write it better than most americans when I take care).
I apologize, as I've been gone and working on my speaker project to comment on your reply. I don't want to argue, and some of my comments have simply been jabs. I understand the point you are trying to make, but as I said before, I'm not trying to build a technically superior speaker.
I don't actually have an issue with your system, except to say that I do not believe that speaker cable and interconnects make enough of a difference to justify the exorbitant price.
I am building the speaker based on manufacturers specs, and we'll see how it turns out. In the future I will purchase some test equipment, but at this time I'm going with manufacturer numbers and auditory testing.
Hell, I'm not even sure why I'm responding now, except that I feel as thought I've treated you poorly, and I'm not particularly enamored with having done so. Or it could be that I've been drinking and have decided to let it go. *shrugs

Youse gots that rite!!!

It's no wonder that Americans are looked down upon in Europe. Most of them can more-or-less fluently speak three languages. Many of us here can barely speak one.
