None of us are ready to experience his speakers.

Just so you know...

    Disappointing and bewildering.

    He had some good stuff on Youtube that I found useful, then he went off the deep end and ostracized so many people.

    The thing that makes no sense about it is that most people listen in untreated rooms.

    In a certain sense, wouldn’t that make the most qualified reviewers those who have similar circumstances to their audience, rather than those with a listening room Utopia?

    Just because you are not perfect in every way gives you no right to cast aspersions on those of us that are.

    He's a weird guy, all righty -- but I have to say that the one pair of his loudspeakers I've heard (albeit slightly tweaked from the original design by their builder/owner) was... very, very good.
    The tweeter used therein is NLA,though, so the drivers may have been doing most of the heavy lifting in the design, for all I know. :|

    I do find it amusing that he's apparently an equal-opportunity target for hifi fan scorn -- the ASR folks ain't crazy about him, either. B)

    That "calling out the reviewers" YouTube video was *painful* to watch.
