I think you misunderstood what I said, or at least what I meant.
I wasn't putting your setup or room down in any way. I actually dig the carpet quite a bit (nice 'modern' look, for lack of a better word).Looking at the pic just reminded me of starring at that type of carpet for hours, while trippin', many years ago and I was trying to convey that. From your message, it's hard to know what meant behind the words sometimes, I think you thought I was talkin' sh** about it. Even if I was...who cares?
Maybe I'm wrong and misunderstood you, but your comment about the narcotics seemed to be an unnecessary low blow...which seemed to be it's intention, as I was talking about experiences with things I did 20 years ago.

It's beyond misunderstanding. All I was doing was joking about it.I was just trying to point out that the way the room looks, even the colors, is not accurately captured in those images, so that people who perhaps don't like it looking at the pics might actually like it in person, and vice versa, because the images and reality have only a little in common.
The reference to people who've been here and liked it only because they might have been stoned, (which I meant as a general reference which could have included being drunk or anything) was nothing more than a joke in general and was in no way directed at you, I only made the joke in light of your comment, that's all. (and if it depreciated anyone, it depreciated me, because I was saying only a drunk would like my room etc...)
All I know is humor never works in this place. Ever. If it somehow came across to you any other way, I am sorry.
Go in peace, nothing was meant by any of it.
Unfortunately it's hard to get the sarcasm and humor sometimes when it's written out in a forum such as this.I gotta say though you seemed overly defensive. I've seen your work and I think you do a helluva job...doesn't mean I need to like your room, no matter what it looks like.
I have no problem w/ misunderstandings etc... I may have taken your 'narcotics' joke a lil too personally.
Safe to assume if you have 'Dark side of the Moon' in you either have a glass of scotch or smoke a bowl (or 2)...or both---maybe I'm wrong.

I just got a little confused by the original posters behavior, that's all. He asked to see rooms, and when I showed mine he proceeded to tear me a new cornchute and told me he'd have done everything different. As I said, then it would be his room and I thought he wanted to see other rooms... I didn't see anyone else take heat like that from him either.I also am not offended if people don't like my room, but I just wanted it understood it shouldn't be judged until seen in person. The pics don't convey it well. If you plan to visit however let me know, I'll turn the lights down low :^ )
I only made the joke since you did yourself, so I figured you were OK with it. It's all good, no worries :^ )
I noticed you got some sh** about your room. I dunno, who cares? Maybe it's a sensitive issue w/ you, but as you said 'you have to see it in person'. To me that's completely understandable.I also question the blue color for the treatments (though I read your post about something being wrong with the tan), but it's a listening room, not a L.R. to impress w/ your choice of fabrics, furniture, and setup.
If I happen to be in town I'll grab a nice bottle of scotch and an extra Xanax and we'll kick back to some tunes ;-)

out for the night...
I'm not sensitive, but I'm not going to sit back and take crapola from people :^ ) Especially when it's a guy with a room that I can see dozens of problems effecting his sound, and his biggest problem is "what's with the rug dude?" :^ )It was more funny than anything.
In person it's a beautiful color blue. I tried white walls originally and it was god awful ugly. The blue works great there. I tried beige tiles but they were the most hideous shade I ever saw and sent them back for blue ones instead. The ones on the wall, the larger ones, are grey. And true, I never built it to impress anyone, how it sounded was job 1, but I didn't want to feel sick looking at it either :^ )
Man, you just won't let the dog lie...geeze...issues...
I won't let it lie?All I did was respond to a reply that Kiefer posted to me yesterday. YOU are the one following a week old thread which at this point is just between him and me. Stop being such a drama queen.
Why are you so defensive?
