I have pungent opinions because I can recognize a slight when I read one? (and it was a slight to this forum, not me)

Explain to me then, if their opinion is as you state why would he compose a note to be posted in the place which is the very antithesis of his companies policies?

That would be like McDonalds going to a Vegan board and writing them a note:

a) we don't know how much fat is in our food

b) we don't want to

c) we do try things which we come up with on our own and subject them to tasting evaluations

d) if 55 year old grandmas and our buddies at Bryston like our burgers, then we like our burgers.

e) if certain vegans don't like it, tough noogies

f) we're not going to change (or serve soy burgers)

g) after you're dead, we still won't change.

Please, explain to me what either hopes to accomplish. I didn't say he was wrong, I just don't see the point of it.

It's not exactly the antithesis, it would be more like a "gourmet cooking" interest group who made "Big Mac a la Toscana" burgers.

What does he hope to accomplish? To explain where he's coming from and why they are never going to go down the "tweak" road.

  OK, it is true that there are people here who have done questionable, even clearly wrong headed things to their speakers, at least IMHO.
  
  But the forum as a whole, and what it has accomplished as a whole, is rather impressive.
  
  I was already aware they weren't going down this road as I think most here also were. He didn't need to tell us, but if he felt he had to perhaps it could have been done less rudely, that was my only point.

    "He's claiming the balance is skewed on my XO when what he didn't tell you is he raised his speakers a few feet off the ground, (against my recomendations) he installed subs under them (also something I didn't agree with) and he did nothing to isolate the XO components. Those are just a few of the many differences I did not approve of that he failed to mention, but my XO is unbalanced?"
    
    The rub is that the only questionable and clearly wrongheaded thing I did to my MMGs was install your XO - a mistake I eventually corrected. The rest of that drivel above is just more proof of your unchecked ego - and outright lies. A foot and a half does not equate to a few feet - okay, that's just an exaggeration. Yeah, I put subs under them - the best damn part of the whole deal. It wasn't your project to guide (it was a design I cooked up before anyone knew about your frames), but yet you act as though it were. You claim that I did nothing to isolate the XO components - well, that is an absolute lie. The components are bonded to a board which rests on an isolation pad and there is dynamat further damping the capacitors and wires. I also took extreme measures to isolate the MMGs from the subs beneath them - by way of no physical contact and more damping material.
    
    That's just one more of the many cases of your displaying zero tolerance for other's opinions and zero respect for other's modifications. Like I said, the only person here who has the right ideas is you, but now you're going to pay a compliment to the entire community - speaking for myself, don't bother. I don't give a crap what you think of me or what I did. I don't give a crap what you call me either (a troll in the post from which the above is an excerpt).
    
    Finally, I wasn't claiming that the balance of your XO is skewed. I was stating a fact. That isn't a value judgment. It is a measurable truth. Magnepan knew what they were doing when they designed the hump in the electrical response of their XO - they were constructing an acoustically flat XO. Eliminate that hump and you have an acoustically skewed balance. We hear the acoustical response, not the electrical. I don't expect you to accept any of this. I expect you to believe that you are profoundly smarter than the engineers at Magnepan.
    
    How in the hell can you complain about anything a representative of Magnepan may say about you (and despite your protestations, this is about you (isn't everything?)) when you display such contempt for their engineering on your website? I almost choked when I read - hey, where did that crap go? Oh well, there was something on your website about how sorry you were for anyone who bought a pair of 1.7s, but that they needn't worry because you could fix them. Since that text is gone now, you can freely deny that it ever existed, but I know what I read.
    
    Okay, I'll climb back under my rock now, or is it a tree stump? I'll just go wherever it is that a troll lives.

    But you must remember that everyone isn't as tactful, polite, and open minded as you.

      The difference Rod is I admit it, and I don't make it my lifes work.
      
      Two of my "detractors" in this thread attack, insult and demean people on a constant basis and nobody EVER holds them accountable, because they're like rabid muslims, you don't want to piss them off because you'll be next.
      
      So they get a pass. However people are free to attack me because while I may hammer them in reply essentially my feeling is "Yeah, whatever" and I won't make it my lifes mission to go after every post they write from here to eternity, like the buck toothed hillbilly does. (by the way buck tooth, I haven't read a single one of your posts here and don't plan to)
      
      The sad part about this (and any) online board is there are too many people without lives who just live to be important, and who live to keep any perceived "foe" down, and who (probably literally) salivate as they check the board EVERY day waiting for those people to make the slightest slip so they can start their barrage.
      
      Is that me? Or you? No, it isn't, and that's the difference.
      
      As far as wendell, IMHO his note was insulting. If you didn't think so, I'm OK with that. If he thought my reply was then maybe if he actually spoke here we could talk, sort it out and get it to a warm, happy place. But then again he won't reply (or even post himself) and he refused to reply in the past so maybe, just maybe Rod, he is looking down on us.
      
      In any event this is really a very minor fart in the wind.
