Let's be a little meta: What topics are most hotly debated?


Fuses? Power conditioners? Analog vs. Digital? Class D amplification?


Nope.


The most hotly debated subject is bass.  What to do if you don't have enough, how to make it better, subwoofers, crossovers, EQs, room treatment.  Nothing launches more audiophiles out of there listening chairs faster.  Of course I'm guilty of this too, I've just realized that this is a subject with no end in sight.

While I wish my cynicism was in reality just a good joke it is depressingly true of late.

Yes I agree we all need to strive to do better, myself included, but as we all know it is SO easy to be the big bad keyboard warrior!

I would also agree with hilde that I have posted in haste and then spent the next 20 minutes online editing it until it is maybe not quite so blunt and offensive.
But still a spade is a spade.
for every almarg there are twenty turds and clowns

too bad, really

still, it is our collective responsibility to strive for higher standards like al had set for so long in his contributions
I think a good start would be not calling fellow members turds and clowns....
This is slightly off-topic, although about bass. I was recently standing next to a young fellow who was talking to a woman, appearantly a friend of his Mother's. He was telling her of his new 1000 watt sub-amp installed in his Honda. So I commented to him how my stereo system  has a 1 watt amp for each side in my living room. He looked at me bewildered not knowing if it were some sort of joke ...
+1 twoleftears...so the debate is actually how to get the bass you want without doing what you know you need to do...



My Aztec Goddess of coffee and chocolate, this is true.
What happened?  I leave for 4 hours and there's already a stream of deleted posts.  :D :D :D
