Re: The Reality Of It All

>2) I have conventional 2-way monitors, ribbon hybrid dipoles and controlled directivity horn speakers. According to POLLYinFLA these are all mediocre.<

So you have differences of opinion. That much is obvious.

>I don't want to hear euphonic tube distortion or B) It would be a waste of my time.<

Some folks prefer discordant solid state distortion. Again, the two of you have differences of opinion. And as I recall, he was talking about DBT's when he said "waste of time". I could be wrong but I thought that was the thread where they wanted proof of what you could hear BEFORE they came down. I can't say why - that's an objectivist thing. I guess they don't believe you and feel that you'd fail a DBT when in their presence.

>My Subjective opinion was; it and the Crown and the Crest played loud & clean, but they were also bright, harsh, with no depth to the soundstage, i.e. listening fatigue set in very quickly. The way I see it loud and clean along with durable and the ability to take abuse is the primary requirements for sound reinforcement. Unfortunately it's not the primary requirements for home listening.<

I totally agree. But neither you nor I have any experience with the QSC amp AJ owns being used with his speakers. Who knows? It might work fine.

>POLLYinFLA who spits apon an invitation to my home and speaks negatively about audio components he's never listened to.<

But that's what objectivists do! Not the spitting but the lack of auditioning if the measurements don't warrant a listen. They believe that we are deluding ourselves, remember?

>Sorry Kerr, but POLLYinFLA has nothing I want to see or hear. I don't wish to meet him anymore, I don't want to drink with him, nor do I have any desire visit his home.<

Ok, that's cool. I have no problem with that. But doesn't that also mean that you no longer care about his opinions? See, I only brought this up because at least on this board you two seemed to have a lot to say to one another. I thought if you got together you could probably resolve some differences because you sure as hell ain't gonna accomplish that on an internet board. Correct?
