    I was applying the transitive property (sarcastically) to the statement made about amplifiers all sounding the same

    And you didn't even get that right because nowhere was that said in this thread.

    But then, who can doubt one's ability to discern between amplifiers when one can't even accurately relate what was said (and what was not) in black & white.

    Or was it a case of transitive properties?

    More back pedaling.

    So you would go with polk over CERWIN VEGA. The spec are decent on there speakers. Thats why i’m asking you guys know 1000 times more then me.

    I sincerely hope you aren't as dumb as you sound. If you can't cop to that....have someone sanity check your posts before hitting the post comment button.

    BDT

    How do i sound dumb? Because i don’t know much on this topic ? No **** i don’t. Lol. To sit there and call some dumb who is learning on the topic make you an idiot.

    This is not a main streem topic. So i would 98% of people or even higher know **** all on this topic. So are they all dumb???


    Sorry you are getting caught in this thread man. Where do you live? If you are near me you are more than welcome to come by and experience some new things.

    I’m finding most this **** funny. I’m from Vancouver Island British Columbia Canada. So i don’t think that would work.
    But thx for the offer.

    You guys
    Hardcore about sound. :)

    Careful what you wish for. I do still have a pair in stock.
    Know thy enemies, I always say ;)

    Ain't it funny that I kept a pair of CVs and sold my Cornies? Simple enough to explain, actually -- the Cornies took up a lot of space and folks'll pay pretty impressive sums of money for 'em. :|

    Full disclosure -- the CVs here are very modest ones indeed. Little two-ways.
