Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars
mikelavigne Mike: The Audiogon discussion forums have changed. The days of IMO or IMHO are gone. Several members seem to think that their opinions are fact - in a very bloviating way. Their chronic posts are as fatiguing a noisy tweeter. |
Mike: The Audiogon discussion forums have changed. Several members seem to think that their opinions are fact - in a very bloviating way. Their posts are as fatiguing a noisy tweeter. there is just so much noise here now as you mention, as well as ultra aggressive dealers and the gear focus overall is much more down market than it had been. not a bad thing objectively as those products have value to many, but anything a bit up-scale gets run though the coals. the price gets in the way of meaningful consideration on merits. some of that is reasonable, but other forums are able to keep dialog on point regarding musical issues so the entertainment value to me is not drowned out. i prefer to go to audio forums to escape all that stuff, not be hit in the nose with it. on this thread i’d like to read about other alternative speakers to these big Wilson’s, not just continual shots that it exists. sigh. |

Because of the noise, many knowledgeable and experienced AudiogoN members no longer participate in any discussions. This is to the detriment of new members who wish to learn more. Fortunately, there is a wealth of knowledge stored in the discussion forum archives. But, who knows if it's being tapped.unfortunately; since gear and tech evolves, archives have limited value since their relevance is out of date. what's needed is to retain more serious experienced audiophiles that do bring that knowledge base. it's the people that matter. but really i doubt that the bell can be 'un-rung' for Audiogon. the forum owners/mods are not motivated to want any change in the status quo. they tolerate all sorts of things now, that never would have past muster in times past. it's much harder to find value for me here now, and most threads i enter get overrun by distractions. i went for a number of years not posting here at all, and recently returned trying to find some fun and enjoyment since i have more time and effort invested in Audiogon than anyone. my system thread has 3300+ posts, but is mostly dead now. use to be very much alive. |
