Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Sigh...

Glad you think it amusing, Mr. Danley.

My "omniscience" usage did not concern high-end audio but the
fact that despite your unfamiiarity with what has been published
by audio magazines, you drew a broad generalization from that
limited experience.

> I have not looked at your publication in a while...

Exactly my point. That unless you actually _read_ the
magazines, you are on shakey logical ground expressing
any generalized opinion on what they do or don't do. For,
example, the issues you raised with respect to measurements
have been examined at length in Stereophile.

> as I recall there was a tinge of "anti measurement" there?

I politely suggest you read Stereophile, Mr. Danley, before
you describe what you think we do.

These are ambitous claims, in my opinion, but not having heard
or measured this loudspeaker, I shall refrain from expressing
any further opinion, Mr. Danley.
