    That's just my point is he there for audio Knowledge or personal attacks.If you are going to say something to someone that you can't say to their face then they shouldn't say anything period, there is a word for people like that.But I'll pass on that one.Not everyone is going to like the same speakers, that's fine but some people make their opinions personal.And that is not OK

    I did alcohol and drug counseling back in the early 80's...in a lot of ways he fits the profile of a "dry drunk".

    Dunno if that is his issue or not but he probably could stand some professional help. At minimum anger management.

    I'd say Anger RESOLUTION would be better for a guy like that. He's what my dad would have called "a real corker".

    Romy may be an angry gasbag, but it's made him famous. There is something to be said for that.

    It's funny to me that Romy not only hates the 604, but also Srajan. He likens him to Barney the Dinosaur. But as soon as Srajan has doubts about the 604, Romy likes him.

    To me this just says that Romy and Srajan are both too caught up in "Hi-Fi" sound. The plane of reference is skewed. Unfortunately it's too easy to let that happen.

    In reference to his description of " Pipe smoking type who enjoy vintage speakers.
    What about the U47 still used today in all Major recording studios for vocals and strings.
    The classical music he listened to where recorded with Neumann Microphones.

    Ahhhhhhhh the "tube mic", Neumann might have the nameplate, but they'll always be Telefunken in my heart.

    Big fish in a tiny pond. he's a nobody.
    If he segued into politics, would that constitute "pond scum"?
