TSM-MM not loud enough ...

af,
There are plenty of other choices that will fill your requirements. "Undoubtedly better as well". this was posted by you, was it not?
how would you even know this since you have no first hand knowledge of my latest product or probably, none at all, for that matter?
preconception and assumption?
both unprofessional and not helpful to anyone except perhaps, you!

and my conduct is purely to stick up for my product and to give knowledge where it is needed. what i have found unprofessional is your conduct to be sure. first the two e-mails you sent me that border lined on rude when all i tried to do was to explain my side of this. and since you first intervention of a merlin string, months ago, i have watched you very closely. you are a classic example of "do what i say but not what i do"! there are many here that seem imperfect to you or motivated by something questionable, aren't there?.
i fail to see how a dealer has more place than a manufacturer posting here on agon. do you really want to compare the long list of things you sell to the two models i have refined for over 10 years and see who is complelled by what? my motivation is not money, that is obvious.
perhaps you should reconsider your position and stop this nonsense. do not read it if you do not like it!
and just for your information, you should see some of the e-mails i have received from others questioning your motives.
again, "you cannot make 100% of the people happy 100% of the time" and my favorite, "to thine own self be true."
regards,

You say defending when in reality it is selling. Anyway, there is plenty of daily criticism/ discussion in these threads regarding competitive brands such as Tyler, Green Mountain, Coincident, Von Schweikert, Totem, and on and on.

Very very very seldom do any of their principles step in and sell, oops I meant “defend” the products. Why is that? They are probably secure in the quality/reputation of their product. Lack of interest? I doubt it; they pay attention. Perhaps professionalism has something to do with it. I don’t know.

In defending Bobby;---he is here and offers plenty of help for end users. Besides bobby and Steve McCormac;few other MFG's do that.---AND their product is their livelihood,so most of us understand.--OK,I'm not a book-shelf-on a- stand,kind of a guy and I would be looking at big floor standers to fill this 21x16 room.---But,then again; I don't do book-shelf speakers,even tho my room is smaller than this size. Back to "about-bobby"-- I think his closness with his owners gives him valuable input on what works with his speakers.

af,
being a manufacturer and moving in those circles, i think i know a few more than you do. i have spoken to many about dicussions in chatrooms and they have to me because they know i post. their opinions vary greatly. some have very large companies and are too busy running them, some with research, some with travel and some just let their dealers or customer service personal do the talking for them. they do not get involved unless a given situation is out of control. some and not many just make themselves totally inaccessable to all for one reason or another. and a few even commended me personally for standing up for my work. not once was it ever said to be unprofessional to stick up for your work or help consumers.
but to be fair to you, there may be some who do feel that way because nothing is an absolute. your opinion of what i am doing here has been stated many times and i do not agree with you. but be sure of one thing, there are many who post here that know my product and own it. i will continue to offer advice and to clear up problems and or misconceptions.
with you being a dealer, why do you post here and take many to task? i feel this is an example of "the kettle calling the pot black."
