TANNOY 3128 speaker 1012 and HPD315A crossover. What's the difference?

[Marco]

I can't comment on the technicalities of this particular discussion, in terms of who's 'right' or 'wrong', as I'm not qualified to do so. However, what I do insist upon is that no-one on this forum automatically appoints themselves as the 'official guru' on ANY subject, Tannoys or otherwise, as that's not how we operate here.

How we operate, is to encourage input from *everyone*, and when two people who clearly have a level of expertise in the subject concerned 'lock horns', for want of a better description, the idea of the exercise is to respect each other's expertise/experience, and conduct a mutually beneficial dialogue that will (hopefully) educate and be put to good use by the membership.

Therefore, scoring points to feed egos, or a selfish desire to be seen as 'the main man', should always come second to that. Just sayin'...

No one is being any sort of a guru Marco. I always offer honest advice but when other people who clearly haven't grasped some of the concepts then appoint themselves as judge and jury, I will respond accordingly. Just saying

If you'd rather I didn't bother, then that's absolutely fine with me as it's often a thankless task. I have nothing to prove or to justify and won't be playing those games. If that is what this forum is coming to, then I'm equally happy to drop out without any contribution. It has nothing to do with points scoring so please be very careful with what you are saying. I know what I'm about and it's taken years of learning, and am not an amateur in these things. I don't claim to be any sort of expert either but can only respond with honesty. That's me done with entering these discussions. I only entered this one because Tony was after advice from me. Over and out.

Well, that's absolutely fine, and you're entitled to do so, as long as you don't make it personal. Similarly, I *will* respond as I see fit, when I consider it warranted

I've addressed the above in a PM, which you will read, so there no point in going over old ground. The basic premise here is that ALL contributions are welcome, on ANY subject, and when 'techies' get involved and offer their input, no-one's relevant expertise is considered as the 'most authoritative'!

That's it. It's a general point, and thus not directed at anyone specific

Guys, I insist that this thread gets back on-topic, so any further backchat (from those who think that they're entitled to have the last word) will be deleted without further warning, and if such persists, the thread will be closed.

[tonymorris]

Wow.

I have been away from the forum for a while. I had no idea that my initial somewhat naive query would create such angst .

I am so so sorry guys.

[struth]

oh we like a good bit of angst

[walpurgis]

Three years on, this might have been best left consigned to history.
