Give Bob a break. He's trying to work thru some settings and is giving them a chance. His room is part of the problem, but I'm sure it's not everything. Sometimes you just don't like something, no matter what you do.

This is true. Take Aretha Franklin... one of the most celebrated soul singers of her era. Rolling Stone ranked her #1 on it's list of 'Greatest Singers of All Time'. Me, I can't stand hearing her voice for longer than 5 seconds. I honestly don't see how ANYONE can!

You can please some people all of the time. And you can please all people some of the time. But you will never please all people all of the time.

Well, nobody could really stand her this past January 20th...

If you go to page 8 of the song speakers/m80's thread you see Bob has the M80's corner loaded with about 5-6 feet of separation in what looks like a very reflective room. That type of placement is a big problem which I bet is causing the majority of the issues he is having with the M80's. You put the song speakers in there and they won't sound ideal either.

Which is probably our fault to some degree. I think I remember that he was concerned about that. Among other things.

Dave. I'm not sure who you are upset with. For my part, I have no problem with how Bob feels about the M80s or most of what he has posted. The mask stuff is pure clowning around.

Not upset with anyone. Just letting everyone know he is trying a few things to make it better.

Also, the location is not exactly a corner as one speaker is near a wall and the other is pretty much open (and the center is below ear level). True that this will no doubt be an issue with any speaker.

Bob was warned about the highly reflective nature of his room in light of his fear of brightness. He posted 9000 times before he bought, yet I get the impression he did not really listen to some of the more technical posts. Hell, I knew his setup was going to bright. And as non-M80 owner, I can say with a good deal of confidence that Bob was treated as well as anyone until he got a little bent out of shape over some posts (it happens) and never really recovered. You see the same thing happening on the other forum where he was chastised for alleging he had not received a warm welcome. I'm sure he is a great guy, just comes across a bit...well, you can fill in the blank for yourself. I'm not trying to start a bash-Bob thread.

From the pics of his room he clearly has an option that would yield a much more favorable listening environment if he wishes to make the best out of any speakers he has.

I know I've come across as not being a fan of ol Bob but I do wish him the best of luck.

I brought a couple bottles back from Prague a few years ago. It took almost two years to finish them off. I didn’t care for it much (tasted like menthol flavored Listerine to me). I’d pour a shot for the more “daring” individuals at my parties. Whatever the heck is in it is for real. I’ve never had anything that would mess me up like it, but maybe some Uzzo I had in Turkey about twenty years ago.... Everyone else who tried it said the same thing the next time I’d see them.
