I'm Greg.
Elswhere I previously posted to Marco that I was not interested in this forum because of all the shallow crap discussed. This thread completely demonstrates my view. I signed up after Marco made a commitment and came to Owston, listened, compared his kit with others and played a part in our world. I seriously respect him for that and feel guilty I never bought him that pint I promised. Maybe some other time.
However, this thread epitimises all I have no time for on audio forums. Clearly most of you are up yourselves to a point of totally losing the plot. Most of what you write is total bollocks; you don't know what a good sounding system really is because you've spent a lifetime in marketing and you'd rather spend your time squabbling about inconsequencial nonsense. Keep it up guys but I'm off. I've got better things to do than waste time reading all your totally shallow crap. It amazes me that you justify a living earnings during the day producing all this nonsense. Most of you need to get out there and really get a life! Maybe if you are so good at what you do you could make a difference but I doubt that is in you itinery.
I've listened to the AVI stuff at the Bristol Show. Absolute rubbish. Flat presentation with no three dimensional sound stage. No instrument/voices in space and a general shoddy one note bass sound. The absolute bollocks of it all is Ashley enjoys playing his computer recording of an original wax cylinderI could do better with £150 spent at Richer Sounds....seriously.
There comes a point when being so into marketing, you seriosly loose the plot and clearly that is where you guys are. Wrap it up and get back to the sound. Having said that, in order to do so you need to have the ears to hear. Maybe many of you just don't have that natural ability or you need to visit the nurse for an ear syringe. Who Knows?
Marco, sorry, I gave it a go but frankly you are hosting a forum populated with some good people but also alot who are a waste of time and unfortunately these seem to be the most prolific posters. I'm moving on and off. I really can't be bothered with these people.
Best wishes,
Greg
Very sad.
But unfortunately true (at elast in this thread). It's a pity you're not going to hang around Greg, there ARE some interesting folk around and I was hoping that with a few more like you the general 'tone' could be raised somewhat.
Sadly, it seems there are a 'few' who seem to infiltrate so many threads with the same old bollocks.
<sigh> Here I am again in this bloody thread!![]()

Post #9 in this thread is where (yet again) Ashley Marketing Corp hijacked it. Please take it back to that point and consign the rest to the dustbin, or another thread if you insist.
You are testing a lot of peoples patience with your tollerance of these two, you have lost two members today, and they are the ones that have told you!
So whats to stop them coming back and crapping on this thread again, eh!

As far as this thread goes Richard, You started it !
Hi Greg,
No worries. The respect is mutual
I'm sorry you feel that way, but sometimes certain threads go the way this one has. I don't think you could say the same thing about the majority of discusssions on the forum.
I would like for you to contribute here regularly so what do you suggest I do? I would honestly value your opinion on this.
Richard,
You have a point. I'll look through this thread tomorrow and prune it as necessary. I'm off to bed soon.
Marco.
