  Not even try them? So is one to think your mind is so rigidly
  opinionated as to be effectively closed for any new business?

  Seems like a strategy which eliminates the possibility of learning
  and discovery to me.

    TM---It's me that would throw them out not Badman.

    "Seems like a strategy which eliminates the possibility of learning

    I'll get by, it's speakers not The New World. After 58 years I've developed a pretty good sense of when somebody is out to bullshit me and the guy who makes those drivers is out to bullshit us. Just read the outrageous claims on his website, like we're morons or something.

    You can't do business with everybody, you have to filter people out and an attempt to treat me like a goddam idiot sets off my filters everytime.

    Kind Regards

      Why try the bad ones or questionable spec drivers with so many good transducers I dont have time for the poor performing.When one gets to know a bit about drivers its easy to see threw some of the marketing BS without having to buy and try.I am not refering to the drivers Less used just in general.

        then not even take a few minutes and hookem up? Come on...
        Making a purchasing decision is one thing, just refusing to
        listen entirely is more like starched arrogance to me.
        Agree?

        P.S.I know that "Common Sense Audio" guy is full to the brim with
        marketing B.S. (just look at how he gushes about those honky damn' FE206's), and I'm totally skeptical of any claims on that site,
        and probably will/would never buy from him. BUT...
        Les Hudson obviously has experience with MANY quality drivers and
        varied cabinet configs --and so why not give a little consider-
        ation to his opinion on that basis?

        I think there are a few clowns here on this forum who just like
        to take every opportunity to crap on Les's commentary at every
        opportunity --why? I have no idea. But if I see people acting
        like immature dicks, I reserve the right to say something.

  I'd rather spite the guy. It's an Irish thing.
