+ 1 … The web is littered with forums generated from the dysfunctional egos the size of planets who finally realised that the only way to gain true control was to create their own little audio fiefdom… why MC hasn’t followed in the steps of Rommy , Amir , etc etc is a mystery
your persona is one of the most unpleasant on this site
as i have scanned your posts, few have been to do anything other than to spew negativity, to put others down, to criticize, to make yourself appear above it all, i see no other meaningful contribution, so i ask, what is in it for you to be here?
i don’t mistake morality with being judgemental, nor naivete... i simply believe a society, a community is as good as we individuals choose make it, we each carry an obligation, you are obviously oblivious or don’t care... your bullshit is among the worst i have read
so i just call bullshit on this bullshitter - here are your recent posts, all of em...

Recommendations on small ESL speakers for tiny room
OP … I would go with the smaller sized ML’s however If you are up for a little vintage serviced Quad ESL 57’s or 63’s can be a delight in a smaller room
$500? Not bad! Let’s all do that! Make us work harder. So what if we bug others to death along the way? We are worth it! Who needs a bunch of free loaders anyhoo. I may just start Mapman U. for a small fee you can hear all the things I know you should... Really good friends.....10% discount.
Just so long as georgehifi is gone with his dismissive, rude and obnoxious posts. Many times I was interested in findings on different fuses, then george would take over the thread, screaming snake-oil and slinging insults. Good riddance and hope it's permanent.
FYI - MC did say in a post that he was part of the Townshend family shortly after Max (RIP) passed away and mentioned it again in an email he sent me.
In the past, he helped me with advice (no charge) with a few things I did to improve my stereo and I was curious why he wasn't posting. I asked him what is up and here is what he emailed me:
"Lots of good people like you have PM’d me but being suspended I can only reply to people like you who email directly and off-line. I’m not really trying to get anything going but when people ask I will tell them the truth.
I do get messages, several every week, and being suspended hasn’t changed it much. If everyone who supports me and values my posts was as vocal as the haters this would all be over real fast. Can’t see how it takes a whole lot of courage to say, “This ain’t right” but apparently more than most can muster. Sad.
So anyway yes I have been working with Townshend, although it is hard to explain exactly what I do. They sell direct, no retail, and when there are shows I will go but those are pretty well shut down these days. So I am helping with their website and this and that. Frankly it is pretty much what I’ve been doing, explaining to people all the little things that help.
I recently developed a new cable isolation system, and boy does it work great! My good friend (NAME DELETED) was the first to try it out and said he was amazed at the detail that had been smeared and now is clean and clear. This guy has a $1M+ system with Magico Q7 so might not be quite the same with everyone but it sure works for us.
That is just one of many articles you can look forward to when they lift my suspension. Whenever that is. Almost don’t even care. Supposedly a month. Anyway I will be back and when I am they can goad all they want only the serious will be recognized and it will be as if they don’t even exist".
He said some other stuff about his system and some reviews he'll be doing and told me to feel free to give out his contact info if anyone is interested.
