Ivan, I'm glad that you have had a such a great experience. I didn't. I even said that maybe things weren't up to speed, but he called me out as a liar on multiple occasions. Even though he believes that, he never should have done that as he doesn't know me from Adam. He has no idea who I know etc... It was just strange to have him react to me the way he did and then not apologize. I'm fine with my posts as I know who and what I am. He thinks I'm a shill for Vany and Audio Connections, which isn't even close. I mention them because of my great experiences. Jonny at AC is known very well on this board and is known for helping those who haven't even purchased from him. He acts with respect which is somee thing that Alex doesn't seem capable of doing. It's his loss too as a couple of posters sent me messages about this flare up and said they'd never buy from him after the way he reacted towards me. Again, you can't act like that and expect to grow a business. What owners fail to understand is that not all their customers or prospective custmers are so loyal that they share everything they do. I too will bring in my components to local stores to hear how they sound with or against other stuff. That's how you figure out what to purchase in the future isn't it?

Ivan, I'm glad that the speakers finally broke in for you and that you love them. I hope that you keep them for a long time and enjoy. I'm also glad that Alex treated you with respect. I wonder if he would have if you posted anything that wasn't glowing about his speakers. No biggie either way. I have purchased the Vandy Treo's and will get the AQ cables from JOnny at Audio Connection because he was so good with me. I think most audiophiles are loyal, but I saw what Jon did for people on this board and I knew he was a good guy who loved audio. I wish that Alex was nicer to me. It's his loss though. Sorry, didn't want to go there, but I guess it brought up a sore spot since he never apologized for calling me a liar even though I was nice to him and gave him an out on a couple of occasions. Again Ivan that's cool that you decided to stay with them and even looked at other components to try and make them work. Seems like a lot of trouble to go through, but we've all been there before .....more times than we wish, lol.
S'cool. Wish you the best of luck in the future..particularly since it looks like you didn't get the fair shake (for whatever reason) I would think you deserved.

It's all good John. Sorry bout my post. I don't know why, but that's the first bad experience I've ever had with a dealer or company in audio ever. Crazy as that seems, As long as you got what you paid for and expected, it's all good. I really like these forums. Since I'm so opinionated, I probably piss plenty of folks off in my posts, lol. It comes experience I guess, lol.
So did you ever get the Vapors? What are your thoughts? there are a ton of speakers using the RAAL tweeter and the accuton mid/sub's. So far, I haven't heard any of them integrated that well. They have all been say too analytical for me. Just not music like what I hear live. Even some of the esoteric stuff I've heard haven't done of for me, but that's just me.

NY, if you got them, what are you running them with? What's the rest of the system you ended up with? Thanks..looking forward to hearing from you.
