What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby?

Your response to my attempted humorous answer (with a lot of truth in it) is completely uncalled for.

You have attacked another post on this thread. Is that how you roll?

Saying to someone their manhood or charter is deeply in question, aka horribly flawed, is over the top.

Semper fidelis.

@drkingfish,

What, in Gods name is your problem?  You spewed quite a bit of BS in your post.  Get up on the wrong side of the bed or are you always this way?   You seem very angry, perhaps some Anger Management Classes are in order?   I don’t think your drama is helpful or warranted. 

Can we take the personal attacks out of this please? Settle up or agree not to sell each other anything anymore.

The hobby itself.

@janehamble ,

’Only when doing some REW testing did it come to light that both my Seas tweeters were pressed in. $900 a pair, plus installation. I have no idea how this happened. Could have been a visiting child or dog - but most likely it was clumsy carrying by me.’


That’s a pretty unpleasant experience. Sadly it happens all too often when it could easily be prevented.

It’s bordering on criminal negligence the way some companies don’t offer any protective mesh on their tweeters.

The one that Harbeth uses on their M30 / M40 tweeter is a model example of what should be a standard practice.

This sort of protection should be compulsory. For metal ones full protection Harbeth M30 style should be mandatory.

Even those 2 wire protective strips you sometimes see in front of a tweeter are better than nothing, but not by much.

ATC even have steel grilles on some of their models. Great idea.

Otherwise sooner or later, tweeters will get pushed in. You may or may not be able to recover the shape with a gentle use of a vacuum cleaner, but it’s doubtful whether it will perform again like it should.
