Reviewers must have a penchant for hyperbole.:lol:I only asked because if he likes to see people get wire-brushed in public, I would be happy to oblige him if it was warranted after listening to his speakers.

I didn't "like" anything such, except Jason expressing what he heard, good or bad. Maybe I just like honesty, rather than pretense.
If you as a reviewer can't say a bad word about anyone/thing in industry, especially at an audio show(!), might as well be a cheerleader.![]()
Well, if you can't say anything bad even when you hear what might be to your ears, "bad" sound at an audio show, I think I'll skip.
I'd rather read stuff by folks like Jason, or Mike, etc., who aren't afraid to express what they hear, at least to them.
Others are free to disagree.
You keep assuming I never say anything negative.
Since you listen to mostly clipped dynamics MEP how do you expect anyone to take your product reviews seriously.
Btw, what amp does Karl use with his NOLA setup ..??
Anyway , Im really surprised Myles never mentioned this to you when you were in training, Myles has become very sensitive to Dynamic clipping , especially after acquiring Big power for his Magico's...

Well i can agree if you throw away the science you can make up anything, as you just did ..
Try it again with a little credibility, Like listening distance ,(instead of using 1M ) 87db (1W) instead of 90db (2watt) sensitivity (its a 4 ohm speaker) , so while i can believe you about the system sounding good with the ref75, ( it's a great sounding amplifier) Im confident your squashing Karls hard work ...
Btw sensitivity ratings were off a bit here too

just saying ...
I have also heard the KO's being driven by big McIntosh monobloc toob amps and i can assure you on the Patricia Barber recording that was being played they were using way more than 200 watts/ ch on peaks..
What you are really bashing is the hotel room and the setup skills employed in a hotel room. My only point is it doesn't do any good to bash the gear after you walk into a hotel room and don't like the sound. I don't sugarcoat anything I hear at rooms and talk about how great something sounded if it sounded like crap to me. I just don't say anything about bad sounding rooms. Are you really going to steer clear of any gear that some person heard at a show and trashed it without knowing what the real culprit was? I take it all with a grain of salt. And besides, some of the rooms at Axpona that some people were raving about and named "best of show" didn't thrill me.
In some ways, you are making the old Peter B argument - we can agree to disagree.
So all show reports are useless.:dunno:So you walk into a hotel room and you sit down to "listen" to a bunch of unfamiliar gear in what has to be an unfamiliar system shoved into a hotel room and now you are qualified to pass judgment on all the pieces of gear that made up the system you tried to listen to while other people were in the room yammering?

That is exactly what you said.I didn't say that.
No one is qualified to pass judgement on show rooms. Now you seem to be adding the caveat..unless it "sounds good" (to you we assume)So you walk into a hotel room and you sit down to "listen" to a bunch of unfamiliar gear in what has to be an unfamiliar system shoved into a hotel room and now you are qualified to pass judgment on all the pieces of gear that made up the system you tried to listen to while other people were in the room yammering?
