RE: Any of you heard the Vapor Audio Cirrus or Breeze?

You've been peddling your wares at RMAF for years now. Claiming it was by invitation only is a joke - particularly for someone like me who has actually booked and stayed in rooms at the hotel on the same floors speakers were demoed in. You clearly don't know me or what I look like but given all of the publicity you've attempted to gain for yourself :

I'm very familiar with both you and your speakers. They are generally a showcase for a particular style of cabinet making as they lack bass and have a limited vertical listening window. In all fairness, I didn't say they were crap speakers. They sound good overall but so do a lot of speakers from PSB, Paradigm, Revel, and B&W. I don't lie and I have no reason to lie particularly in this case. I could have said your speakers sounded lousy and didn't - so much for your "axe to grind". As a matter of fact, I feel the same way towards other speakers like YG and Magico. Dollar for dollar, where small monitors are concerned, I prefer the sound of Jeff Joseph's small monitors as they are typically better balanced with enough clean bass to not need a sub. And Joseph uses his proprietary steep crossover filters to particular advantage - minimizing vertical window problems for one. Given your jump to conclusions, it would appear that the one who truly has an axe to grind is you. Schumacher's infomercial makes him pretty transparent so there's no need to hazard a guess where he's coming from.
