RE: Peter Gunn and the World of Tomorrow

67.189.206.242

I think part of the problem here is the premise that opinions are invalid if a person hasn't had first hand experience (listened) to the speaker. That's the easy way out of any discussion.>>>



Dave, I think it's possible to discuss ANYTHING without 1st hand experience, but in the end it's of little value beyond entertainment. The sum of the parts is impossible to know in this case.
If Peter Gunn's mods make the panel more rigid it WILL add to the bass quality and perhaps even quantity as perceived. That's hardly a wild statement. Stand changes to my many speakers over the years had tremendous impact on bass.
So again, we have a guy making mods to a speaker. Owners love the mods. He worked hard to create them and agrees with his buyers about the results. And then we have people who have ZERO 1st hand knowledge who want to be critical? And Mr. Gunn shouldn't be defensive? I'm defensive about it and I don't even know Peter Gunn.
Years ago I bought a pair of Carver Amazing speakers. I told an audiophile friend about them and he practically got hysterical about the inherently poor aspects of the Carver design. He knew audio, but also heard some bad accounts. I quietly suggested that proper matching of electronics and the qualities of the room might be behind some of the bias he'd "heard" from others.
Well guess what...he flew into town months later and heard my Carvers sitting atop their DIY stands and couldn't fathom what he'd heard or believed about the design. He bought a pair.

Frankly, Peter Gunn can say his mods make the 1.6/QR's fly and write poetry. If you haven't heard them, or seen them fly, then you are talking out of your arse. I don't care what you think you know about audio because I've seen too many rules broken over the years.

Just show me some unhappy customers? Surely there must be a few?
