Millercarbon lack education and personal experience in a home or professional environment with this, so their opinions are incorrect.
Can we all, possibly even Eric, agree this is a home environment?
https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 Sure looks like a home to me. In fact, living in it, yeah, sure enough, its a home! Gone off the deep end he has. Again.
But what about professional experience? Well to be honest I never have done this as my sole source of support. But I have been hired and paid to design and install systems. Its no secret. I’ve posted about it before. I’ve had multiple people come to me with questions, all assuming I am some kind of industry insider. Well I was a presenter at CES one year.
But to even have to be going there seems to me entirely the wrong approach. Either your ideas are valid and compelling, or they are not. If the ideas are solid then you should have no qualms whatsoever defending them on their own merits. The problem is this has been tried and failed, and so all eric has left is to try and shoot the messenger.
Basically what this comes down to is the classic example of do you want the best sound or do you want the best equipment. We all know eric is into equipment. Its all he ever talks about. Even when he talks about sound, its never really the sound he’s talking about but the measurement of the sound. Which isn’t quite the same thing now, is it?
So do you want a system that sounds good? Or do you want a system that looks good? Its your system. DYODD. Choose wisely.
