Already provided dimensions of my room way back … no need for pics, what’s the point of that?

And here comes the derailment :facepalm:

Oh, forgot to mention, I hate cats, love dogs
shown your colours now haven't you .
one golden rule never mock another persons pets . i happen to like dogs as well . but you showed your colours now

Don't worry, you needn't expect many words to follow. If you dare look at the output, you'll see "AndySu" has to be the strangest account on ASR. Over 1,500 comments, almost all seem to be of similar character. Baffling.

How did this become a silly dog vs cat discussion? Anyone that doesn't like animals in general is no friend of mine, their preferred pet choice is their business - just love them and treat them great.

PS: I adore my cat. I'd also love a dog (and my GF has three) but as living by myself, my cat is the only one that would put up with me and the time I have to give it - and he is my son. And both of us love our dog visitors. :)

Uhm...from someone with this tagged to every his single post?

i like Cats. i don't like ASR members who don't

Kinda sets the tone, dun't it?
Take the pet remarks in the same spirit you present yours.

And try not to be a jerk to the OP.

I take it as a tongue in cheek in comment. But I don't hate any animal of the planet, and I think the "It's either dogs or cats" polar discussion completely stupid. You don't have to hate one to like the other.

PS: I think you guys should stop this. No one can "win" these topics. Notice I bowed out gracefully several pages ago. :) You won't get anyone to love your preferred speakers by arguing, nor will you change their opinions about preferring a cat or a dog as a companion... :)

i added to signature over year ago , there are some who are . look . look . i asked mk where are the pictures . and matthooper goes from normal to psycho and starts attacking me , well good for him , he's on my ignore now as well as mkr on my ignore

also speakers , avr are all immaterial items . won't get love from hi-fi . an animal pet you get love , warmth affectation in return . hi-fi if anyone says they love hi-fi needs to see a professional help as its just a pack of electronics at the end of the day . i like hi-fi not i love hi-fi

Sure. That's why I said to take the pet comments in the same spirit offered in his tag line.

Who is doing either of those things?

The pet stuff isn't serious, and I don't see how anyone is pushing MKR to love their speakers. It's been a good thread.

You guys do like to beat a dead horse.
I guess it's Sunday...

I am getting concerned @MKR will get bored out of this thread. I sure am.

OP is aware listening to all those speakers in his room, blind, with same positioning and hight from floor tweeter adjusted if relevant, 5 seconds max between speakers would be ideal. He also mentioned it is so impractical (impossible) he will not do it. No one needs to agree with OP limitations, and certainly no one is challenging the ideal scenario. (@MKR maybe you could put something like that in your signature ;-) )

So could we please move on?

Also OP is not pretending to be a speaker reviewer. He didn't wrote off the Gens on his YouTube channel to millions of followers, he just wrote he didn't see them working out for his application on his thread about him looking for his new speakers and moved on. The name of the thread is not "Why you should burn your Gens".

I think we are all aware his end game might not be ours; rooms affects sound; preferences, availability and application all affects choices and anyone reading this thread and deciding to blindly buy the same pair of speakers than OP would completely miss the point of this here adventure.

So why all this bickering about stuffs that we know will not happen for OP or defending speakers OP doesnt liked? Remember it is not your money, not your company, not your shop, not your ears, not your home.

Please let's move on and forward. I wanna know how this adventure ends.

Perhaps after 100 pages and 5 months (check the count) the OP should have found some speaker for that budget? Is that really that hard to find a great speaker for 30k? It's certainly entertaining to keep the thread going clearly :-D I am ignoring this topic... :)

Op is playing the search for a speaker and I think he is having a lot of fun in this game, so I don't understand questions like this.
I'm sure, he is not 99, so he have time :cool:

To me it's a great quest, like Frodo and Sam going to Mount Doom. Can't wait to see the ending. I hope the OP also has a Deus Ex Machina Airlines frequent flyer card.

I never believed the if-a-black cat-crosses-your-path superstition.
And then there was today.

Happy hundredth page, thread. May you live a million more :p
Maybe it needs to end at 100, seems to be irritating some folks that it keeps going. Fully bizarre to me how this turned so quickly, but eh, as I say all the time, just speakers, not worth the consternation any longer

@Andysu I do apologize if I offended you in any way, was certainly not intended and stated purely in jest

It's not a human right (yet) to go through life without being offended. Let miserable people be miserable and carry on with the entertainment for the happy rest of us!

That’d be up to you. Any which way, it’s been appreciated, and surely interesting to more folks than not (tip hat).
