What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work?

" But the claim was that Linkwitz was a brilliant speaker designer. You would think his speakers would be well known and sought after. That just isnt the case. What makes him so brilliant if few audiophiles care about his speakers? "

The standard defense mechanism of the narcissist is contempt, which you display in most of your posts.

The defining characteristic of narcissism is grandiosity, or an unearned sense of superiority. You sir are in no position to express contempt towards Siegfried Linkwitz. You have no accomplishments.

Your posts say much more about you than about whoever or whatever you are posting about.

The standard defense mechanism of the narcissist is contempt. You have no idea how much you reveal about yourself with your posts.  

Nobody has asked you for a psychiatric evaluation of me neither do i want one and neither can it be done online.

I suggest you stick to the topic of discussion rather than try to discredit me using an ad hominem accusation of narcissism. 

" I suggest you stick to the topic of discussion rather than try to discredit me using an ad hominem accusation of narcissism."

When you expressed contempt towards Siegfried Linkwitz, your behavior became "the topic of discussion."   

And once again you exhibit a classic symptom of narcissism; quoting from the article linked below:

"People with narcissistic personality disorder... turn the blame onto others."

When you stop exhibiting narcissistic behavior, I will stop pointing it out.

Deal?

This is a speaker forum and i signed up to discuss speakers not peoples behavior or character. Narcissism is a term that was made up by a nobody. Its just a hodgepodge of different characteristics that apply to EVERYBODY. Grandiosity and superiority? Everybody has that to some extent. Who cares? At some point It was then decided by an incompetent that narcissism should be an illness! and now we hear it being bandied about everywhere.

There is no such thing as narcissism. I dont buy it. It cant be proven or disproven. It is utter poppycock. End of story. 

Anybody who is incapable of sticking to discussing the topic is the one with a PROBLEM and needs treatment. Its nothing but an ad hominem FALLACY. Duke Im still waiting for evidence to show how brilliant your speakers are. I dare you to show me. They are expensive little speakers. You have just as much onus as I do to prove yourself. The speaker industry is full of grandiose claims which are rarely proven and every new speaker that comes along is supposedly better than its predecessors! its a neverending sham that needs to be stopped. 

The Linkwitz speakers you mentioned are no longer in production. They are certainly not well known. Not in the same way as kef atc and b&w. If they were so brilliant there would be no need for magico wilson or atc! 

Contempt is a necessity for being an audiophile! Otherwise EVERY speaker would be acceptable and the standards would never progress to a higher level. 

Long live the champion!

You have attacked the character of everyone on this forum in one way or another. You have said or insinuated that all audiophiles except for you are fools. You have accused me and my kind (speaker designers) of incompetence and dishonesty. You attacked Siegfried Linkwitz in this thread.  You are the one who made it about people’s character.

" There is no such thing as narcissism. "

Amazing. Your defense is to deny that the behavior disorder you exhibit even exists. The voice inside of you which invented that defense is NOT your friend.

" Long live the champion! "

" Kenjit ~ Perfectionist bar none "

Way too easy to identify these as narcissism.

Kenjit, YOU are not your behavior disorder, so stop defending it. IT does not have YOUR best interest at heart.
