RE: Wow

I'm very sorry but when are where in my post do I mention myself? As I have had to point out 50 times already it was not about me, you people keep interjecting me, which makes me wonder what your issue is. When I post maggies have QC issue you same people tell me how I hate the company. However another guy just posted about it but for some reason none of you said he hates magnepan. Isn't that strange...

Why do we come to this place? To talk about how much we love magnepan speakers? "I just got maggies, I love em... yeah, I love em so much I got 2 pair... two pair, wow you must love em... I'll say, and frank has 3 pair.... 3 pair wow, how come he has 3 pair.... cause he loves em so much...wow..." Is this all that happens here?

No, it's not.

We come here because we do like them but we all, we all recognize they have inherent flaws. They don't need tweaking, they have inherent flaws. So we come to relate what we have done to address these issues and to see what others have done, and thereby make our experiences with them better.

My first problem was he can't even post this himself, he needs a surrogate to post it. Why, can't they talk to us? Instead we get a Wizard of Oz like "Ignore that man behind the curtain" post.

That post is a "from the horses mouth" explanation of why they do business the way they do it. I wasn't aware they owed us any such explanation, and nothing said in it was anything we didn't already know or assume. I don't know what prompted it, but I don't feel he needed to say any of it. Do what you do, we're not stopping you.

However, this IS a special place with a LOT of special people. (who are not me in case you are confused again) Yet that note treats this forum like it's the general public and doesn't know any better. It is essentially trying to blow smoke up our proverbial "ass", and you don't see that?

According to him maggies are fine as they are, they have no flaws, and they are made as well as they can be for a super price. (golden ears and russian gymnasts have agreed on this) What's more they have tried all these silly gimmicks, in fact more than you or anyone else could dream up and frankly that's all they are, gimmicks. But hey, if you want to have fun playing with your goop DR go right ahead, he wants you to have fun, but don't expect their company to give an idea that stupid credence, OK? That's all he said.

I find that comment insulting to the people here who by and large know better, yet you read my post as talking about myself? If you're that far gone I shouldn't be trying to explain it to you.

And finally, I didn't insult him like the other person in question does to people. I simply found his statement disagreeable and said so. I'm not allowed my own opinion, I have to have yours? If you didn't read that from it fine, I'm not going to pass judgement on you, and if I mistook him, my apologies Mr Diller, I was wrong. However if he said what I think he did and worse, truly believes it, someone here should sit him down and have a talk with him.

If you could actually get off your horse for one second, think about their relationship with this site. This is the greatest accumulation of insight into these speakers there is. One would think they would take advantage of that. No, instead of selecting a focus group from here to put questions to, or even invite to the factory once a year for demo and input sessions, they ask 55 year old russian women what they think.

Did they ever even have a presence here? No.

When he did finally start posting here, he got asked questions (some rude but most civil) and he never answered one of them. NOT ONE.

Now, he won't even post himself so he can't be asked questions.

But you don't think this displays a company that has no use for us? That does not give one iota what we think? Look again at the recent post about all the QC issues that guy has with his maggies. Have they ever addressed that with us? Would they ever? Will they ever? There is enough evidence to suggest this company has sold speakers they knew were damaged when they left the factory (and if they don't know then by God are they clueless) yet they will not address this.

But I'm arrogant, right? That's what you took from it? Again, it's funny how me having an opinion makes me arrogant but you telling me how wrong I am not sharing your opinion doesn't make you so. I didn't attack him, I just don't like what he said.


It's all about the music...
