In Reply to: RE: What are field coil speakers? posted by jazzman on May 22, 2007 at 06:37:16
isn't the idea of a 'forum' that there are diverging opinions?
to be truthful, there IS a load of hype and snake oil out there, and frankly, theres a whole lot of suckers willing to buy into 'the BEST sounding thing thats NEWLY discovered'. surely that's no surprise to anyone. 'audiophilia' is a game of disposable income, and theres a lot of people willing to dump their money in some huckster's pocket. whether that be some obscurist 'ancient technology type's'wallet or some large-name, overpriced proprietary damping material speaker corporation's.
besides-- there's LOADS of horrible implementations of GREAT drivers. to say 'buyer beware' of some old-new technology ISN'T crapping in anybody's sandbox, for god's sake- it's prudent advice- don't get suckered into the newest fad, which may be done in a year, and audiogon'll be full of 'em.
listen for yourself-- maybe you heard a great implementation and it can be done really well. maybe you've never heard a great implementation of them. maybe they're the magic bullet to audio nirvana. only one way to tell, and that's listen. obviously, romy didn't find the hype up to the reality. nuf said.

Exactly.
Makes anything romy pronounces .... with his usual grace and elan. Superfluous. Just like Romy.
No one is rushing out or jumping on the electrodynamic bandwagon. There is simply renewed interest.
Romy is a drive by tagger, and virtual grafitti bandit. He has the manners of a pig. He smells. No matter what he has to say about hifi (for those that care).
He long ago ceased to be cute or amusing. Like last millenium.
c'mon elmo-
none of the things said were inflammatory to anyone- just clarifying possible overestimations of a driver's capabilities. there wasn't any name calling (besides for saying audio asylum was prone to hype-- which at times it is).
there HAVE to be pundits to keep the marketeers in check and make sure all the 'marvelous', and frankly, impossible, things they advertise are for real. that's nothing to get angry about.. in fact, i'd think it'd be something to welcome-- even if it is based on one person's experience-- and i'm not the one to judge that.
just take one person's view with a grain of salt-- even mine. but don't discard valid points of view based on the personality of the person giving it. if antisocial behavior limited whose opinion you took seriously, you'd spend very little time talking to audio types anyhow!

His deleted messages from just last week say different. When he was walking around smilingly with fly unzipped, and his dingle dangling.
"pundits to keep the marketeers in check"
Romy as saviour? There isn't a platform or thread Romy's pathological need for attention hasn't darkened. The entire web. He sucks the oxygen out of every virtual room he enters. Nothing to say, nothing to add. Only belligerence, confrontation, coupled with an ego that makes G*d's cigar teary.
"don't discard valid points of view based on the personality"
If you feel I'm being shortchanged by not reading his dreck, fine. To me he is a complete waste of time, and countless site administrator's bandwidth. He does after all, have his OWN website (full of his usual marvelous pronouncements, insights, and gems).
"if antisocial behavior limited whose opinion you took seriously, you'd spend very little time talking to audio types anyhow"
I'm not a clinical psychologist, I don't get paid for being in the same room with him (let alone building). His raft of pathologies are his. For him to proudly enjoy, in all their glory and splendor. He has a lil' stiffie right now, just from the attention of this very thread.
Romy in possession of some musically beneficial knowledge (to me and my system)? YOU have the com .... I'm all ears.
