this is section where the most fights starts.
here are a few reasons.
1.people will come on here and ask what type of speakers should I buy for my computer. this is the number one fight starter. you should research it and come to your own conclusions or just PM guys that might has some good info on the subject. I've personally have received thousands of these pm's about this. I've helped lot of guys. a fight just broke because a guy posted a thread about this. he said that was really only looking for one guy's opinion. he should have pm him and the war would have been avoided
2. audio is subjective. because of this reason many people think that they are an expert in sound. so a lot of people have opinions.
3. different places listen to different styles and types of music. some people listen to screaming distorted music (they don't know that it's distorted). some people listen to full flat neutral sound. one type think that they know as much as the other.
4. bad economy changed the role of music. since the turn of the century we've had a bad economy. companies can't afford to put as much money into music equipment as they use to.
these once reputable companies (I.e. pioneer, alpine, jensen) have resorted to tricks and marketing to keep the money flowing. they now make cheap stuff and lie and say that it was better than the old stuff.
you now have fly-by-night companies that will come out and make anything and they will charge you a arm and a leg for it.
here's where the problem start
lot of young people swear that this is high end sound. lot of you young guys are too young to have lived at a time where high end really existed. this little fact will never stop you from voicing your opinions. these young guy are quick to attack too. I have a short fuse too, but I attack after I been attacked. I keep it respectful until I've been disrespected.
Now this don't apply to all young guys. there are a few that really know their stuff. but in audio, Older people usually know more.
we used to have a lot of knowledgeable old audio guru's. Dj Chris, Nubius, Crysalis (a young guy who knew more than old men), Molsen, 003, etc. they were all chased away for one reason (crysalis shows up now and then). they can't deal with these young know it alls who treat them like they never heard audio.
there a only few guys here who know a little about audio now. Oreo, Ricanflow, Apokalipse. etc
some of you guys needs to realize something. Audio is a career to some of us. to other it is a hobby that we are consumed with. lot of us are true audiophiles. I've been an avid audio fans since I was 7 or 8.
my dad had a trucking business. on the side he would haul people's stuff away in their house. in the 70's everybody was throwing away their big all in one stereo consoles (some had TV's in them) for separates. we couldn't keep the whole big thing so i would always take the speakers and crossovers out. they didn't sound as good outside the box as they did inside one, so I had to make enclosures for them. it started out as cardboard and eventually went to wood. it took off from there.
I became a well known and famous audio installer. I now have my own computer business. most of the high end audio engineers of the 90's became computer tech's in the new millennium because there's more money in it
I know the you guys think that you know more than us on the subject, but you have to realize that we got years invested in this (I got 30+ years). our experience give better knowledge than you young guys who are just starting and don't have a clue. sometime there are young guys, who want to learn and they sit in background and watch and listen to the older guys who had the vast experience and they pick up from them. they learn quick. they get experience early. they never disrepect the older guys whose helping like you guys do. that's Crysalis. that was me 20 years ago
you guy don't know how many systems that built from scratch or systems that I put in people homes or cars.
you need to show us some respect. in turn we will respect you
