.....at least you didn't tell me to kiss someone else's ass. An ass that you have never even seen, heard or smelled before. You are indeed making progress, grasshopper........
That was good.
This exchange was humorous.
Thanks; I needed the laugh.It just kills me that someone would recommend speakers that someone else recommends yet has never heard them nor understands the upstream electronics.
Are you the senior member "Ian Mackenzie" on the Lansing Heritage Forums? If so, you must be familiar with the Performance Series and Studio L Series threads there.No, no affiliation to Best Buy. But I think I know why you mentioned Best Buy. I used to own JBL Studio S310II's with charge coupled networks. The drivers in the Studio Series are practically identical to those used in the Studio L series, with exception to the supertweeter in the Studio L Series. I now own the Performance Series PT800/PS1400 stacks, which according to the infamous Ozzy look like "some generic japanese speakers from the 70s".
Negative.
Just a hobbyist.
Wow, I didn't realize I was infamous.
Yep. And here is where you made the comment:

I'm a little slow so please bear with me. I just re-read your post and I think I now know what you were trying to tell me. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you were trying to say the following:I am stupid. Reading other people's opinions about speakers is stupid. And I am not serious, because that would be stupid.
> I am stupid. Reading other people's opinions about speakers is stupid. And I am not serious, because that would be stupid <You almost have it.
Reading other people's opinions about speakers is NOT stupid. Recommending them wholesale w/o having ANY experience with them, now THAT might qualify.
I have no idea what your intellectual capacity is, so far be it from me to call you stupid. However, I can say that your advice was less than smart. How's that for ya?
"Reading other people's opinions about speakers is NOT stupid."Nice cover, even if it is a little transparent.
So Oz, have you listened to these:
As a matter of fact I have. A friend has a pair and I had them in my system for a weekend. And I have also heard them in his system.
Next question.
"Well the GMA Europa instantly comes to mind, but it might be too "cheap" for you. It is an absolute steal at 1K. But you could always go for the Europa Max or the Callisto if you want to spend more money. What matters is Roy makes good speakers and even his bottom feeders are excellent."
I was speaking of all three pairs that you recommended. Not just the Europas.So you listened to the Europas, but went on to recommend the other two models because, in your words, "What matters is Roy makes good speakers and even his bottom feeders are excellent'
Ok, smartass.
I have heard the Europas in my system.I have owned the Imagos.
Both are Roy's designs and definitely at opposite ends of the spectrum. Both are very good sounding speakers.
The Europa Max is a hot rodded version of the Europa.
The Callisto is a hot rodded version of the Europa Max.
I do have some familiarity with Roy's designs.
But to get back to your point, the Europa IS the speaker I recommended.
I'm done.
I hope you are happy now that you have been exposed for doing the very thing for which you attacked me.
