What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work?

Liinkwitz had several commercial designs which were manufactured by a company called Audio Artistry. One of them received Stereophile’s 1998 Loudspeaker of the Year award.

Here’s the review:

Those Pluto’s would be handy, being able to move them about as you want (unlike the Martin Logan’s I have that weigh 60-some lbs. each and have spikes that I have to pull up from the carpet.  Who was it that posted that their speakers each weigh 130+ lbs?  Oh, my aching hernia!)

But the claim was that Linkwitz was a brilliant speaker designer. You would think his speakers would be well known and sought after. That just isnt the case. What makes him so brilliant if few audiophiles care about his speakers?

^ Linkwitz’s speakers ARE well known and sought after. If you want to get a glimpse into why he is considered a brilliant speaker designer (by all other speaker designers, and electronics guys like Nelson Pass), read his technical papers (his website is a treasure trove of knowledge and wisdom). Prove you’re not just a lazy know-nothing braying jackass.

The standard defense mechanism of the narcissist is contempt, which you display in most of your posts.

The defining characteristic of narcissism is grandiosity, or an unearned sense of superiority. You sir are in no position to express contempt towards Siegfried Linkwitz. You have no accomplishments.

Your posts say much more about you than about whoever or whatever you are posting about.
