In Reply to: Pat tries to justify his disapproval of my opinion of the SF Cremona Auditor ! posted by thetubeguy1954 on December 1, 2006 at 06:31:28:
Actually, I don't dispute the rating you give of the SF Cremona Auditor as I think it is a very fine speaker. I would rate it with my own, which Stereophile puts in Class Restricted LF. Buts you evaluate it without having heard it, based on hearsay. It's the same as if you wrote a review without having heard the product, or reviewed a theatre performance you did not attend.I have to laugh when you talk about "my knowing which traits the Aliantes Pinafarina One & SF Cremona Auditor both share." You have never heard the SF Cremona Auditor and have never said anything intelligible about its "traits." It's hilarious. You really don't know anything about its sonic traits. It's like the fundamentalists who complain about movies and art they've never seen.
As I have said before, you are entitled to like whatever speakers you want. Your taste in speakers is evidently different from mine. I don't care whether you like my speakers or not, but the only reason you have ever brought them up was to bash my opinions in audio and I simply point out your bad logic, something you don't want to improve. IOW, you think that my audio opinions are no good because you don't like my equipment, which is a clear non sequitur and employs a type of the ad hominem fallacy known as circumstantial.
Now, it's the same fallacy when you reject my audio evaluations because you don't like my audio philosophy, which you term "objectivist," even though I don't accept Ayn Rand's philosophy. Now, I don't reject people's opinions on the sound of speakers because they happen to be subjectivists, or democrats, or republicans, or . . .
So, all round, I am clearly a better subjectivist than you are because I listen to speakers before giving others an opinion on how they sound, whereas you often rely on hearsay.
