    I agree it is sad......I am also sorry I get mixed up with these d*ckbags which only encourages their trolling. They are worthless and should be treated that way.

    Come on over to AVSForum/Audioholics/Hometheatershack sometime to see what non-douchery is like.

    So that's where you come from. Got it now. Why don't you just go back and tell all your friends how bad you were treated over here? Poor little baby.

    Nah, I have a better idea. Why don't you franchise the sticking of your foot in mouth and try posting on some other boards. If you ran out of feet to stick in orifices I am sure others at said boards will lend you theirs.

    Lets face it you aren't on other boards because you can't hang with the big dogs. You have to hang on a manufacturer centric sight.

    Trust me, they all ready feel sorry enough for me when I mentioned the Polk Forums...:rolleyes:

    I really don't get it. All of these trolls are always whining about how terrible the Polk forums are, how arrogant and close minded the members are, and how much these forums suck in general.

    Why are you here?

    If these forums are so bad...what keeps bringing you back? Your presence will not be missed juju.

    That's the beautiful thing about the internet...you can go to any website you want. Why come to one where everyone disagrees with you on so many countless points? Just to stir the pot and start ****? Seems like a waste of time on your part...your life must be pretty dull.

    I think you went a bit too far with the fun when you refer others and myself as Zoo Animals. For that reason, I suggest you take a sip from what you piss.

    Whatever board you are referring to (AVS, HTS, DIY Audio, AudioKarma), you can find me with the same handle. Unlike you, many people here are not trouble makers so they don't go to every board to participate in pissing contest. I guess you didn't win there so you come here to give a shot.

    Of coz, you won't find me in the EMOTIVA forums. It's not like I don't dare saying EMOTIVA is of NO REFERENCE Product but I guess some people there already knew about it too.

    Because believe it or not, there are a few people that are able to interact in a non a-hole manner.

    You, H9, Kieko, treitz3, F1Nut, reeltrouble (or some combination of) hop into any thread that happens to mention Emotiva and high-jack it away from the OP.

    Sorry if I missed any of the other d-bags. I can't wait for someone to post about the Emotiva UMC-1. You guys will have that thread f'd about the 2nd page. You guys aren't all that arrogant and closed minded. Just all sorts of dumb.

    Funny, I participate in those other forums too. No where do I see going on the other boards that goes on here. Hell, I didn't even hit this thread till I believe page 5. The collective managed what they always managed with out any input from me.

    Sorry. I must be high or something. I believe Heiney9 WAS THE OP.
    You're one of the two people who hijacked the thread. It started out
    as a neutral thread. The only real slam was the "reference" marketing
    in the ad. And, of course, the specs. At 1v RMS out, some are going to
    have problems getting enough volume, especially with a passive preamp.
    We are quite capable of having a pretty good thread on the + and -
    of most gear. But of late, we seem to get a few fanboys in the mix.
    I don't really find any gear the holy grail. I'm more than happy to hear the
    good and the bad, as long as it's an intelligent thread. Believe me, I've run
    into some overpriced gear. And a lot of overhyped gear. I'm all about a good
    bargain, but I find myself over the last year re-thinking what's good. I'd
    rather buy a used higher end piece that has a history of being dependable
    and good sounding, rather than a new piece with little track record, and
    a lot of talk from people I don't trust. An afternoon at a fellow Polkie's
    house is worth more than a lot of online research most of the time.

    You know whats funny? The only threads that everyone freaks out on are the threads where the trolls go off on a mission to save everyone from spending their own money. Whether the topics be cables, Emotiva, EQ or a number of other things, the topics are going along fine. Everyone comes in...states their opinion.

    Then the trolls come in with their "everyone is wrong except for me" attitude, and won't give up on their mission to save us all, until the thread is 40 pages long and completely meaningless.

    All of the people you mentioned in that post are some of the people that make this Club what it is. They've all helped many people out, myself included, in one way or another. It's the trolls like you, and the numerous other trolls that are wrecking this forum.

    If you hate this message board so much, then leave. I can assure you that nobody is going to miss you, aside from the other trolls. Feel free to take them with you. All of us a-holes will get along just fine without you.

    I've got an idea...
    POLKFEST!

    Let's have a nationwide gathering of trolls, elitests, haters, and naysayers... put them in a room together with Emo equipment as well as numerous other options... and let their EARS speak for themselves.

    Only problem... no one will change their mind. This is all completely useless banter. The horse has been beaten. I unsubscribe.

    I'm almost tempted to order one to compare it to my Cambridge 840C with some friends. The only problem is that it would be a big inconvenience to have a player without digital inputs. Plus all those lights would be annoying for late night listening.

    Or we could all chip in buy one collectively and just ship it to everyone who's been defamed above in order of 1st slur to last. Then have a Karma lottery to give it to someone when everyone is done. If anyone is 'interested'?

    oh, crap. You caught me smoking!:eek:
    I must be crossed up with another thread. But he was an early poster in
    the thread. That will teach me lightly follow a thread while listening to
    conference calls. But I still don't get the whole point. Why come over here
    and slam all of club Polk because some of us don't share their views.
    Lots of forums have heated debates. Cables ALWAYS bring out the worst
    in people. And gear always has fanboys and non-fanboys. Emotiva is a
    cost effective way to good sound. Great sound? I doubt it. Not at that
    price point. It's like SVS. It's a very good sub at the price point.
    But Don't mistake that for being something it's not. There seems to be no
    shortage of these guys that show up to piss on the carpet and tell us it's raining.
