Naim and Elac Adante, Wow

Still loving my Adantes. I'm not a dealer I am just someone who enjoys these speakers and wanted to share how I felt. Yes I am new to this forum but judging on the behavior of most of the people I have been disenchanted and no longer post. This is supposed to be a fun and enjoyable hobby. This forum makes it seem less so.

dont lose faith, you enjoy your music and your great speakers !!!!

this thread long ceased to be about your speakers and a particular bit of NAIM kit.

this thread is about running down the accomplishments of a great engineer, designer and American businessman because the dealer for your speakers has a very local competitor who sells Richards product.

it is that simple

i would just skip this thread

maybe start your own tgread about the virtues of your system, room and of course your speakers...

peace brother

and enjoy the music..

btw I have a very nice Jackson Browne album on with an el cheapo bottle of red vino from Portugal - sublime.....

and again Audiotroy....pretty much anybody can build a composite driver, as I stated before tge balsa core is unique and innovative. IF you knew anything about end grain balsaand and the extreme difficulty of getting it to bond with pre-preg, then you might reconsider your ignorant comments. 

i ran the most advanced composite shop on the planet...we built simple stuff like B-2 wings and structures, F-22 wings, 787 fuselages.....but hey you keep challenging me on composites......might feel good for you....but in the end, you are wrong...period....Vandersteen has the patents and as previously pointed out trade secrets - you have what ??????

 You speak of my "bad taste behavior".
 I have seen many of your posts on Audiogon. I have never said anything negative about you, your posts or anyone on Audiogon except Audiotroy and a Goner who either posted at his behest or appeared to be Audiotroy posting under a different name (having posted only a few times on Audiogon and all in defense of Audiotroy).
 You speak from personal knowledge and your opinion about your experiences and preferences are what Audiogon is all about. 
Audiotroy is a complete self promoting airbag.
Sorry if I offend anyone but the chief offender--Audiotroy. 

bob, I want to make sure you realize that my post was quoting him etc...;).

I honestly don't need to answer to you for anything as to where or when I've heard things. As for territories carrying product, you need to open your mind as there are so many dealers and users of products around the world! ;)..I'll leave it at that.  

I"m glad you know all about teh military and what we teach and how we teach it.  I'm not defending anyone, just pointing out facts, thats' all.  Tomic has already covered your ignorance in regards to patents and the whole balsa wood/carbon fiber pre-preg deal.

Crazed, I'm sorry if I have offended you in any way.  It was not my intent to derail your thread and I'm sorry, but I didn't even post until recently and that was well after someone lost their temper and started their rants.

As I said, I liked the Adante's.  I'm not into the speaker that has the brightest sparkle on top.  That's my preference, but that doesn't take away from the fact that there are many speakers I do like that have that.  I just know that over time, I wouldn't be as happy with them. 

To expand on things a bit, your Adante's will sound better and better (IMHO) with better and better electronics and power.  That to me is a great thing since you like the sound of them, you can keep them as you upgrade over time, if you like to do that.  As I stated, that both times I heard them, then really woke up and sang (to MY ears) with better and more power just like many speakers do.  Again, nothing negative about them at all and I'm glad you are loving them as THAT'S the ONLY thing that counts in this whole thread! :).
