What do you think of the AoS forum?

[Roy S]

I think Marco was sometimes deliberately contradictory to promote ‘discussion’ (bless him) and the same can be said of Geoff to an extent (why doesn’t he post anymore?).

So what we need to engender more posts is a bit of controversy and confrontation.

I’ll start. Having had a few I think Quad amps are shite (except perhaps the 306).

As you were.

No we don’t, piss off with your stupid ideas and buy another watch or something.

Joking aside, that is actually a good observation, perhaps we’re all just a bit too nice and laid back?

Yes, I’ve been told I’m very even tempered only resorting to mindless violence if you spill me pint.

That you think Quad amps are shite, yet you've owned a few, says more about you than Quad The very definition of madness they say! Confrontational enough?

Hearing the Luxman was a light bulb moment and then my bank account was empty….

I wrote a lengthy article about Quad in The Knowledge where I commented that after the 303 and 405, Quad 'got it right' with the 306; so not particularly controversial. And when it comes to valve amplification the Quad II is bettered by the Leak ST20, or the Radford STA15 or STA25.

Regarding Geoff, he is the eldest of the Moderators, and probably the eldest Member as well. I occasionally give him a call
He has moved from West London to the wildes of Kent, where he is working on a new speaker design. Progress is slow, but he may show the results here when it is finished.

This is my favourite forum as I find it easy to get on with everyone, but maybe that's because there aren't many people to fall out with anymore. Seriously if we could just have 20x more regular posters different enough in character to provide more variation but not so different as to cause constant friction then it would be perfect for me. So just get the numbers up and keep the rest the same is what I'd like. Easier said than done of course.

What age is Geoff? Bet the design he's working on is a full range unit, think he gave up bass when he sold his Cheviots.

It is like a comfy pair of old slippers.
It is not as lively as it was. I still visit regularly though, although I do post more on other fora now.

I don't know exactly, but I would imagine 80, or thereabouts.
