Emerald Physics CS-2, Opinions Please

I wouldn't buy anything that REG gives a GEA. He has a history of giving products a GEA and later saying negative things about them on his forum.

Hey Dan, curious to know which product(s) he did that for.

BTW, that sort of action reflects on REG much more than on the product itself, whatever it may be, as it becomes irrelevant when considered in that light.

My own experience with Robert Greene is that he doesn't join this or that product's "fan club"; he maintains an objective position. For example, he really likes the performance of the Gradient 1.3 and the Harbeth monitor 40, but is also well aware of each speaker's limitations and I'm sure would acknowledge them if the subject came up.

Duke, good info and worth keeping in one's back pocket. IMO what makes for integrity is not that you blindly repeat the same thing for ever, but that you are open to new info and can recognize good with bad and acknowledge both, and pitch your tent where you believe it belongs.

Equally important is the strength of character to match words with actions; do as you say you will do, act based on your words and beliefs, and don't break promises unless your circumstances are genuinely dire.

People who don't do these things lose credibility and trust of others, and there are as many of them in audio as in any other avenue of life.

I have not followed the writings of REG particularly but will keep an eye out for the two differing opinions posted above. Although getting a little off the thread's subject it is useful to know.

KcK- TacT 2.2X

Duke- Since REG is currently recommending your product, I'm
sure you agree with him. Other than the M40, look at all the other products he's given GEAs. Have they been successful?

BTW- Join his forum and look at his listening room. If you want to sit on a book on a stool and listen in the nearfield, he's your guy.
