Dartzeel NHB-108

Mark, chill my friend. This was just Jacob [Gladstone] and I (who was in on it and with whom I had already spoke about it on the phone) poking fun and kidding around with Jonathan. I had already e-mailed Andrew off line to tell him about it. In fact, if you will read the posts again, you will see: (i) that I was complimenting Andrew [Hooper] on his fabulous new system that Jonathan had graciously just flown across the country to help him install; and (ii) that Jonathan responded and ended his post with a smiley face indicating his acknowledgment that he wasn't offended. Since none of them have been insulted, and we were just goofing around with each other, you need not worry. I can assure you that Andrew, Jacob, Jonathan and I are still friends and grown up enough to endure a little good hearted audio ribbing. Doc, sorry I didn't live up to your expectations - but that's what ya get for expecting a low life like me to be an upstanding guy!!! LOL!

PS - Mark, since I OWN the Tenors, love their sound and have reviewed them very positively, how and the heck did you think that I insulted Tenor? Just curious.

PSS - How's your room sounding these days?? Ever get that nagging 80hz bass problem solved?

I think this thread is spinning out of control.
Frank I have to tell you that I was somewhat taken aback by the vociferous tenor (pun intended) of your remarks, but took them as a joke. But I don't think it's right to say that I was trying to pull JTinn's leg. If anything, I was holding out the seductive possiblity of an equipment change in front of the poster, with all the audiophilia nervosa that entails.

MES divorced the 80hz problem a couple years ago :-)........The DarTzeel is a good amp, but understand the pricing has risen a bit of late. Parts keep going up unfortunately or worse yet, go out of print without a second source meaning an expensive redesign.......

Better question: How are you post editing?!? I need to learn that trick. This is a totally different post from 5 minutes ago. Arnie?

Yes, Mark, I edited the post because at first I was offended and shocked that you actually thought I would be that low-down so I was a little sarcastic in my response. After re-reading it, I realized that even though I thought my post was SO OUTRAGEOUS that nobody would take it seriously, a slightly more congenial and jocular response was in order.

Arnie? If that's what you think or have decided, I can't change your mind. But in reality, just a friend of Bill W's taking his own inventory and tenth stepping.

BTW, Jonathan and I just talked and we are fine.
