Yeah his product could be bad. But he does have some expertise. Its like saying a doctor who gets sued for malpractice is a charlatan.

Oh yes you are being BELLIGERENT! :facepalm: :p Sorry, just kidding. No, I get it. When I had my first set of servers in my home office back in the early 90s. I was living in a high rise apartment. Didn't have any issues... or so I thought. Bought my first Tripp Lite box more for the...

Yes for single family homes it makes sense to do the whole house units. No argument there. Just going to HomeDepot their most expensive whole house unit ...

So many things wrong here. (The video) I agree w whole home solution... but it depends. The guy in the video had his portable gas gen and then the cable to the outlet. If I were in a single family home... I'd go w a natural gas generator w auto on. My sister has one and it goes on every week...

Yeah I saw that lower on...after I posted. Yeah very professional but still lawyerly. He knew IP law. (Trademarks and Patents) I mean in one of my past lives I've had to write emails to in house counsel detailing the facts of a situation knowing that it would be retained if things progressed...

LOL Oh sorry, I didn't mean that you should go out and buy the PS Audio Powerplant. I don't see their value over far cheaper solutions. You can go to MicroCenter and get an APC battery backup that is quiet and offers similar protection for ~$180 depending on features. If you want something...

Until you do. When I lived in an apartment building ~30yrs ago... I had a couple of machines sitting on a Tripp Lite box. While I didn't have any failures... I'd notice that during the day the box would click and you'd see the LEDs showing line quality change from normal to low. Occasionally...

Uhm what do you mean cry and run for help? @BDWoody is correct in that the minute they say lawyer/lawsuit etc ... you shut up and get a lawyer to protect you. I'm going to assume that the BJC letter to Monster was written by a lawyer or w a lawyer's input. Going public is a good strategy...

Well those Pure Audio Project speakers ship as a flat pack and you have to assemble them. Does that count as a DIY kit? :facepalm: But sure. These days you can get some really good speakers that aren't going to cost you your first born. If you go RO4Y there are a couple of options. Linkwitz...

Uhm the Hyatt Legal service? Its a MetLife product. (Or it used to be.) Not really legal insurance. As to your GC charging you for a percentage of his liability insurance... kinda interesting. For me, some of my clients demand 2M for liability insurance. Its kinda silly since I travel to...

Well I didn't say anything about the products. Its not like he's selling his speakers as a cure for cancer, baldness, and ED. All I said was that your comment was a tad harsh. Maybe I'm mellowing out in my old age, but trotting out the lawyers that's a Dick move. Also very dumb on his part...

It doesn't matter. Even if he has his lawyer send nasty grams, you will have to respond which means getting a lawyer. Just walking in... they want a retainer... depending on the issue ... lets say 5K. Long before anyone actually files a lawsuit... you can rack up legal fees going back and...

Yeah, and you need to be careful... its a rabbit hole. How far do you want to go? PartsExpress has kits that are reasonably priced. Madisound and Solen (Canadian) have more expensive kits. Someone said Fidelia uses SB Acoustics speakers. Take a look at some of their (SBA) kits. Then also...

Thanks. I think this kit solves some of the issues that CSS faced. (But still has some issues of its own.) They've done a couple of interviews and I think if you see the YT video of their collaboration w Jay Lee you can see where they talk about the speaker design being a trade off and...

Well that was my point. His comment was a bit harsh. Not trying to be contrary. This is like hitting Goodwin's law. Peace out.

Yup its a power thing. The Alpha Onix opened up w more power. I think the big issue is the power difference since the dongle dac is getting its power from the source (pc or phone) The sound stage seemed wider. I also think that w the up sampling also helped w a bit more clarity. I tested...

Ok... Look. You called the guy a Charlatan. His product is real. Not a con. Erin just pointed out some serious design flaws and the marketing guy got his panties in a twist. Its what I would call a 'dick' move. I'm not arguing...

Thank you. This is the discussion I wanted to have and see. From Amir's review there is an issue w the box having some resonance. They made a trade-off in ease of build vs more bracing. Note that CSS offers the flat pack in both MDF and Birch Ply. Not sure if that would make much...

Thanks. I stand corrected on Amir having a Klippel. Looking at his review: Ok, outside of the EQ he points out a weakness in the CSS which is the cabinet resonance. Looking at the Fidelia, there is more bracing. In fact its the back of the speaker which has an issue where he cut out space...

Not all numbers are the same. AFAIK Amir doesn't have a Klippel. And again, the question was a comparison between CSS and the Fidelia. No one has reviewed both and taken measurements. I mean I can point to the graphs on the CSS site and say look at how flat they are... but that's not going...
