Ashley & JC's assorted musings

[Marco]

Tony,

I agree with much of what you're saying but despite disagreeing with almost everything they write, Ashley and JC have broken no rules and deserve the right to express their views the same as anyone else.

However I will ask Ashley to remove his "plonker" comment as this is a personal remark and therefore not allowed. I am surprised at him.

Ashley, please attend to this A.S.A.P.

Marco.

Ashely,

Plonker eh?, still I stand by what I said, do you do any real world listening, as if you feel AD9's make a viable alternative then you do live pretty much in cuckoo land.
OK for a pc based system maybe, for those wishing to experience music, a very long way off. For an easy to make and a heathly profit margin product, I can see the advantages.
Never seen some much penial waving and posturing before, its quite amusing and sad and the same time.
I would asking this if I was a outsider looking in, so called professionals engaged in 'Mine is better than yours', plus how much time have these guys got on their hands, if they can spend all day posting this drivel, must be doing a cracking amount of business???
once again, the same old few, very much reminds of the mana debates, shame this place had potential.

I respect everyone's wish to use whatever system they like and enjoy it, what I don't like are facts being ignored or contradicted. And I certainly don't intend to offend anyone. All I'm doing is placing before you a mixture of widely held beliefs and facts that are diametrically opposed to those expressed on here. Please don't take offence or assume that I'm alone or even a minority.

Mr. C. The vast majority of recordings (and most video and film) are made on computers and have been for twenty years or so. Likewise most records have been made using 6.5" two way speakers as Monitors (mostly Active) and most of the hi fi market is for two-way speakers of a similar size. Professionals make records to suit the systems they are most likely to be heard on and we make Studio Monitor/hi fi speakers the same size but with a better performance than most. You should also that we've cracked the Sub issue of integration and we offer a seriously powerful one to make them full range. This means customers get closer to the original performance. I'm sorry if this doesn't constitute the "real world" for you.

It seems to me that most one here have elaborate systems that bring them as much pleasure as the music, not something that appeals to me but perfectly understandable as is listening to turntables. However, if you are critical of what we (and other significant experts) are absolutely sure is a significant advance in the quality of sound reproduction, I'm bound to respond.

Make sure and remove the plonker remark, Ashley. You don't do personal, remember?

Since when has a marketing man been a "significant expert" on anything but marketing, which is the skill of telling lies (nowadays relabelled as spin) and bullshit. In that my dear fellow you are truly a significant expert.

[Colinx]

are you aware of the many alternate definitions of expert,

one of my favorites being, ex- as in something that has been spurt, as in drip under pressure

[Ashley James]

Richard (and I hope Marco will indulge me here) you're extremely rude and you should know better if you are an electronic engineer. If you understand the description, you more than others, should know that there is substance to the claim.

I'm not a Marketing and it wouldn't be relevant if I was.

What is more relevant is that I'm struggling to engage in a debate here with some extremely sympathetic people who agree with very little that I've said and, apart from Mr C, who's a dealer, all have been kind patient and tolerant except you. Why don't you bugger off or make an effort to contribute to the debate.

Although mildy derisory, I don't see plonker as being much to inflame Marco so I'd like it to stay because Mr C. is a bit confused and has been terribly rude.

Ash

PS. Richard is very rude too!

Who knows, do you? Do you know what anyone has studied / practiced / been skilled at BEFORE you encountered them? Or do you just assume that what someone does now is all they've ever done? Just because Ashley is in marketing at the moment doesn't automatically exclude him from having done engineering or electronics either before or as a section of his job now does it.

Maybe before people jump down the throats of others they may like to get to know a bit about their background first.

Ashley,

The matter is not up for debate. When I ask you to do something, you do it - end of. Please therefore attend to it immediately. Cheers!

Richard,

Play nice

I will sort this thread out for you after I've finished a couple of things, remove the 'alien' content, and move it to a thread of its own

Marco.
