Re: [LAU] Quipping at people's equipment choices (was more than 4 channels for listening? Really?)

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 Thanks, Bearcat M.
