A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx

aldavis.

i wasnt refering to you in particular with the ebay rig but since you brought it up there are alot of guys on this site who contribute nothing except to jump in & bash other guys gear & its always the same,no feedback,no system pics,no threads of their own,only answers to questions about gear they dont own.

there are also a few who feel the best way they can contribute here is to tell us about their education kinda like a peacock struttin around showing everybody in sight just how cool his feathers are.

call me an uneducated moron but i still dont get where your going with all of this.

darn, I FINALLY "get" this thread. Why did I even waste my time making serious posts?

This never ends does it? Although my experience is limited to the Sophias and WP7s, and unlike Fremer or Oneobgyn they were definitely NOT my cup of tea, I do not agree with the quasi claim that if a speaker does not use exotic expensive materials nor has some new cutting edge propierty technology, it cannot be considered as Reference product. What baloney. This does not just pertain to speaker, or even audio products. Materials, technology, etc are a means to an end, not the end and thus cannot define it. Just look at the stock market for example: some companies may have the best technolgy etc...but does that make them blue chips or perform well? Not if it does not translate into earnings power which is what matters. Likewise, discussion on materials or tech are indeed useful and interesting but in terms of finding out how particular speaker, for example, has certain sound attributes. Nothing more, nothing less.

Instead if Hardesty first really auditioned the speakers, listening to them, found them problematic somewhow to him, then investigated the contruction of the speaker, and tried to explain how perhaps certain design rules or parts etc would have contributed to his unsatisfactory exp with the MAXX2s, the commentary would have been far more relevant and credible...even if you disagreed.

whats up with AlDavis.....I am sure his mommy is proud of him, but do we really care?

Bigjoe,
I hope in reading these threads you will see that I was responding to cytocycles direct implication about my lack of education regaurding capitalism and medicine. I have never before on this or any other forum given any personal information about my "education". For the most part I feel its irrelavent. I dont think your an uneducated moron but I do think you wrongly jump to conclusions. This thread began about a "review" which brought up some interesting points and taking a position does not constitute "bashing".How can we have a real discusion when others emotionaly respond with calls of "socialist","go to Canada for your health care","strutting peacock",'bashers' if their positions are challenged ? To me its all a kind of childish bullying which contains no useful dialogue what so ever. This is a DISCUSSION forum -Jim
