I have been curtious and respectful on these boards and prefer not to have my stuff I spent so much money on called crap, can you appreciate that?Originally Posted by hjames
Lets see, I spent $225 on the receiver, $200 for my first set of L100, and $150 for my second set. $575, that is a lot of money when you are my age getting through college.
I don't think I am an autority, and I certainly never thought my stereo was the end all be all, but the fact remains, I could be using some bose 301s and a sansui g-3000, which is a much worse combination than what I have.
I know all about the history of the L100, I have read most of the material on this entire website pertaining to the forementioned and other history.
If I disagree with what "experts" and rich folks say, that is my prerogative.
Amount of posts only means I haven't been a member of this board as long as zilch.
Ya know what my dream system is?
Paragon on Marantz tube monoblocks.
I don't prefer bassy systems, trust me on that one.
I owned a set of Cerwin Vegas, now those are some boomy and bassy speakers.
I use an equalizer to compensate for the rolloff on the high frequencies, zilch even helped me with that, of which I am glad, but it doesn't give him the right to call my stuff crap.
Nobody else on this board goes around calling other member's stuff crap, as far as I have seen.
I would love a set of L300s, I just cannot afford them, I wish people would take that into consideration.
I would even like a set of L65s, but I just cannot afford them. Too many people with too much money are collecting them and never using them, but since they have too much money, they end up buying them, instead of the poor guy like me who cannot compete with big money.
Seriously, give this some serious thought everyone before you go around hating on people's stuff.
this seems like a nice place to close off this thread ??
Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles
Look again.
I didn't call anything crap.
I just want you to stop insulting those who have invested the requisite effort to actually KNOW what they're posting about here with your gratuitous blather....
I decided to remove you from my ignore list for one reason, you do offer great information, but you did imply my stuff sounds like crap, which is saying it is crap. Only crap can sound like crap.Originally Posted by Zilch
Some people are touchy with their expensive stuff.Originally Posted by Zilch
Although I know you have excessive cash to spend, I don't.
My TWO Cents, but I wish I had more than that.
First of all, I am 22 and am still going through college and learning the ropes just like Alex.
I am fortunate to have a hobby - selling on eBay - that allows me to purchase the speakers I do have, Altec 846U's.
I agree with Alex - he could have bose or worse, give him credit where credit is due.
Zilch, I think sometimes your posts are only done so you can increase your post count.
BTW - how old are you Zilch? I am only asking so I can understand where you are coming from - the angle.
You older audio crowd should be happy that guys like Alex and I are finding this vintage hobby and prolonging the life of these vintage relics. We could easily have gotten into the shit that is mass produced nowadays.
Unlike Alex, I feel my ultimate system is complete. I am very fortunate - and yes, I wish some of these people with money would let some of us less fortunate to be able to afford such things, but that is life.
So, all in all...I am fortunate for Zilch, but at times Zilch - you get agressive and very rude. What the frick is the [....] at the end of almost every single post you write? - Those are incredibly annoying.
This is a great place to learn, but when people tell others what they think they should own and what should sound good, that is where it draws the line. Graphs are nice, but the human ear is a better measurement - everyone can agree on that.
Yes, I am sure graphs are informative, but why do you guys post so many? Just let your ears do the measuring....
Peace.
Fine. I just changed it....Originally Posted by alexkerhead
Also, I just noticed you posted my image on here, wow, that is really mature.Originally Posted by Zilch
You also posted a pic of my project L100s(before baffle paint and new ports), thanks, I am quite happy with the way they turned out.
I didn't see them respond to the thread, I always welcome correction to anything I type.Originally Posted by Zilch
I do know how to veneer and refinish, many people do.
Feel free to jump in on that thread and correct me please.
It's not good enough we're discussing this via PM? You want to do this in public?
Fine with me:
YOU posted those here. It's not MY problem they're now an embarassment to you....
Explain, how are they embarassing?Originally Posted by Zilch
I just closed this thread. If the 2 of you have an issue take it off line.

Yea, and I agree with Rob.
Let me double-close asking this - why do you CARE whether someone likes your stuff, or not? :dont-know
