Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE

07-30-14: Melbguy1
Charles, no sensitivity regarding Magico, but I for one get frustrated by members like you who act like self-appointed Defense Barristers without taking the time to know the facts. That would take a lot of time and objectivity, two commodities you clearly lack.

I have no dog in this, um, debate. However, at the risk of seeming like a self-appointed defense barrister I will state that IMO, "knowing" Charles not personally but through his many posts over the years, the quoted allegation is simply absurd. And I have no doubt that most long-time A'gon regulars will agree with me.

Also, I would offer the suggestion that when it comes to acting in defense of a given speaker model, ad hominem comments that are vitriolic in tone will tend to come across less than persuasively to those who may be seeking the truth of the matter. Certainly in comparison to the many opinions that were stated in a classy manner earlier in the thread.

I'v skimmed through all these posts again, and still don't know what the OP finally decided on. Did I miss something?

Al, In a nutshell I'm suggesting Mbovaird's recent comments about his ill-fated S5's are disingenuous based on his long history of flipping gear to promote his own interests, and that Charles blind defense of his comments is at best uninformed. Instead of considering that I might have a considered opinion, members here instead went on the attack suggesting I have an ulterior motive and am speaking out of ignorance. Anyway, this thread has become a Tannoy love-in and has long-since ceased being a balanced discussion. There are other forums which offer objective and constructive discussion on the S5's. This is not one of them.

Al,
Thanks and I much appreciate your very kind comments.
Mel, we're all just guys sharing opinions on a topic of common interest.I'm just as entitled to a viewpoint as you(no more, no less). Tannoy lovefest? Because some listeners here prefer them to the Magico? come on! Anyway I've said what I have to say, there's nothing useful to be gained by continuing to go on and on about this.Would it be a Magico "lovefest" if more comments here happened to agree with you? I don't understand the anger on a thread simply discussing speakers.
Take Care,
Charles,

Interesting Charles that you claim "I'm just as entitled to a viewpoint as you" then proceed to attempt to discredit me by rubbishing my comments. It sais a lot that other participants in this thread support your comments.
