Lawbadman,
I stand corrected. As Zaikesman so enthusiastically points out, Maggies are not electrostatic, and hence can not arc. I have, however, heard them on several occasions, and simply assumed, based on their sound and appearance, that they were electrostatics, and I apologize to you for my mistake in this area. I do, however, maintain my opinion that maggies are clear sounding speakers, and I still recommend experimenting with various upstream components before giving up on them.
Now, Z, are you planning to offer some useful advice to Lawbadman, or will you continue to lurk on his thread until another opportunity arrives for you to piss on the next guy who makes on honest mistake? You could have pointed out my error without making accusations and snide remarks, and I would have been grateful to you. Instead, I'm disgusted. I can only guess at what motivated you, but I'll wager the security of distance, anonymity, and the need to feel superior play a role. Whatever the case, I'll thank you to refrain from addressing me until you're prepared to apologize as publicly, and as effectively as you insult.
Lawbadman, I also apologize for this distraction to you and your readers. I thought about responding to Z privately, but he pulled this crap publicly, and I believe he should be afforded the opportunity to apologize (to us both) in kind. I hope he doesn't abuse it.
Well, I won't take up anymore of everyone's time. Good luck with whatever you decide to do Lawbadman, and please share what you discover along the way. After all, we're all here to learn.
