OCD mickey website and negativity.

Brands like Jeff Rowland or TAD wouldn't let Mike sell their product if he wasn't legit.  I picked up a pair of F&F speakers at his house in Jan.  His wife was fantastic and a music lover as well.  She's a better salesperson than he is!  I trust Mike's ear.  I agree with him that some of the hyped lines are overpriced or sound over analytical to me.  He recently had a video where he complimented brands he doesnt rep like Borreson and Avant Garde for their rooms at Florida Audio Expo.

If Mikey moves enough merchandise brands are happy - and that makes him legit?

Mikey gleefully promotes his deceitful baiting of Audiogon members for self promotion.  I someone is legit, that behavior is not necessary.

After his video stunt is called out as bad behavior, posts start showing up praising Mikey. 

Coincidence?  

real folks here should make sure their b-s meters are working... there are layers upon layers of it here

The rogue outsider routine cannot be taken seriously. 

his ecstatic announcement about baiting Audiogon members, exposing handles, and making unsupportable accusations is not the actions of an honest person with no agenda....If you think that stunt was OK, then a whole different discussion about what constitutes an upstanding ethical person.

@jjss49 Hard agree. I'm not sure everyone has one of those. The idea (down in this thread) that one "just doesn't have to watch" is good advice for a child, and fatuous for adults. Of course no one *has to* watch. The idea is to call out b.s. rather than just let it happen. Kind of like any other  with any other odious phenomenon. It can be ignored -- but it shouldn't be. It should be called out and criticized, debated, etc. 

So much baiting. How can we trust the positive comments?

I listen to his videos and learn but have never really heard much about speaker construction outside of the exterior cabinet materials.

Mr. Powell does a great job explaining the insides of a Power conditioner and talks about Cable and power cord construction every once in a while.  But I don't recall him talking about the construction of crossovers within the speaker in any great detail.

I wish there were more opportunities to learn from these guys who may have the knowledge. Maybe they turn off the viewers if it gets too intellectual. We know the manufacturers won't do any of this.
