I know people love to bash people who enjoy audio play-back equipment as 
though we all loved the stones that are advertised as making CD players 
better or we all think that applying green marker to CDs make a 
difference. Not all of us believe that sort of thing. On the other hand, 
if you are bashing my choice of speaker because you really think that 
all speakers sound the same, i'd love to hear someone back up that 
claim. I'm not talking "better" (that's subjective).  I don't recall 
typing that spikes me a difference in sound (they are devices for 
stability) or that cosmetics do either.

Why do people feel the need to snark at people's choice of speakers etc, 
especially in a derailing manner to the discussion at hand? If you don't 
happen to like my choice of speaker please don't bring up spikes or 
something silly like that.

I brought up the subject of the speakers that i use, because it matters 
to the subject at hand. The tweeters are unusual and have a different 
dispersion pattern than most and that effects  the way  channel 
balance/seated positioning works.

It's kinda like if someone were looking for help editing config files 
for alsa on the command line and you think they're use of kde is silly.  
At least respond to the questions i posed or put your responses in 
another thread. If not, stifle it as it's irrelevant.

Please don't inspire me to throw a shakti stone at you. :"P
