and you don't attempt to refute him either. is it safe to assume then that you are agreeing with his points?
NO it is not safe to assume that. At least not on all his points.
"Another subtle jab. You may not have said directly that Monster Cable made you system great, but you did insinuate on a couple of occasions that lesser brand wire could compromise the system. The engineering behind Monster's wires is sound. The claims of sonic superiority (especially in speaker wire) is ridiculous...wait, that is not a strong enough word but it's late and I don't feel like getting the Roget's out."
-I have never insinuated in any of my posts that a lesser brand of any sort would compromise the system - although it is a true point. I also never made mention of speaker wire in my car or of any claim of superiority to another speaker wire. But if it makes him feel better to rebut a statement that wasn't made by me so he could have something to do as a moderator... so be it.
"I 100% agree. Post counts mean nothing. But, then again, by referring to us as "children" you are doing the same thing. Making a judgement on a group of people without knowing anything about them. Double standard?"
-I rest my case on this one. Both yourself and Steeda responding about the Monster Cable is beyond me... If it is an inside joke, go ahead, laugh it up. But from my perspective it was a childish response to a statement that was never made.
"And what point would listening to your system possibly have? I don't think anyone disagrees your system sounds quite good. I believe that some people may have been a bit annoyed by the "Eclipse 8443 greatest sound HU of all time" type of reviews of your own equipment. It came across as fairly arrogant whether it was intended or not. (I don't need to re-read your post, i know I didn't quote you word for word). When you were questioned about your choices, your response that essentially said that you had the best system that money could buy for each of your components, you didn't do anything to quell the elitism you hinted at earlier."
-I stand firm with my opinion that the 8443 from Eclipse is the cleanest HU around... without going to a balanced output. How many other decks out there can say they have a 55ohm impedence level at 8volts? Basicaly what that means is that the signal flows from the source to the amp virtually unrestricted. -No one asked me about my choices for my system. The only questions posed were if I had any pitures, and if Monster Cable made it sound better. Both of these questions were addressed. If you feel as though from what you read is in my car makes me "elite" in some sort of way then I say Thank you. Now I'm supposed "quell the elitism you hinted at earlier". What is this crap?! I never hinted to anything - and I'm not about to make everyone feel equal by toning down the "elitism". This is life guys... This isn't elementary school soccer where everyone goes home a winner with ribbons and no hurt feelings. What?, am I supposed to make it "fair" for everone?
denewma04, This entire site has been irrelevant for years, so yours or anyone elses presence here couldn't possibly matter any less -Man that is sad. You are a moderator of this forum and you bash it yourself! I don't need to say anything else on that. "BTW, I would be willing to bet I could equal that SQ for 50% of the cost, maybe even exceed the performance. Do you mind saying how much you spent since prices can vary so substantially online and locally?" -I paid retail.
