Possibly. At least you're not in denial anymore. You have taken your first step.

I wasn't referring to receivers. I deleted the comment, since it could be taken as a personal jab and I didn't want to throw ammunition into the fire.

You still have not commented on the fact that it has been proven time and again that receivers/amps cannot be reliably distinguished in blind listening tests. THAT is a fact.

Yeah, I know why you deleted your post. Don't be affraid to say what you mean dude. I don't take your comments personal.

As for your second comment, I only believe in one test, the true test...my ears. If you are happy with your excessively bright Onkyo the good for you; I won't tell you you're not.

rock- you seem particularly aggressive and seem to have a down right $hitty attitude through out this whole thread.. whats the deal man? i think it has been established that we ALL have different opinions on what equip we do or dont like, but i just get the impression that you want to keep egging this thing on.. why?

just curious? and for the record, i dont find my Onkyo 701 to be bright at all. i have wondered... i have a receiver that is considered 'bright', and i have axiom speakers, that are often considered 'bright', then my system should sound like complete $hit.. yet, everyone of my friends that has come over and listened to my HT, says it is hands down the best HT they have ever heard. and these aint salesmen, or back slappin ego boosters. these are guys that have HT's themselves, and know the difference between a good and bad system. so 'bright', 'detailed', 'forward', whatever term you wanna use, its just your opinion. so please, do us a favor, get off the soap-box and spare us the grief.

i am cool with everyone having their own opinions.. but you dont have to keep shoving it down out throat like its a fact. it just causes a bunch of ugliness, and in my opinion, that is bad.....

Big John,

It is illogical that SO MANY of the different audio products that have been deemed "too bright" around here, are in fact, too bright. That fact, along with the "odds"........discredit the poster(s).

I think your a shoe in to win the $10,000.00. Please go take the challenge.
With your winnings you could help fund the cost of the Axiom get-together, or better yet, donate it to the Tsunami Victims.

Stand back…..IMO!

Ajax – I here you on the Sonic Fox thing…..

Ray3 – Thanks for the compliment. I check the board frequently, but as I have stated on several occasions, reply only when I feel it necessary. I try to limit my “useless posts”, and tire of the way things get of topic, and off the rails so quickly. While I scan the thread titles, I choose my path wisely. As many will agree, we seemingly have our own opinions, formed by various influences. We gather hear to discuss them, and should respect, value attempt to understand and learn from the varied experiences, opinions, and thoughts of others. However, it is better f these are delivered in a positive manner, and much more likely to be discounted if they are not.

Kcarlile – With regards to Bose and graphs, I believe that 2x6 posted a link to the graphs of some speakers that had less than great graphs. These speakers are among the best I have ever heard. I agree that I am not a big fan of Bose, but we need to use all methods to form our own opinions.

Lomb7 – gee, am I glad I don’t live near you!!! LOL

Pmbuko – yes, imprecision has lead to many a disagreement. Semantics have as well. Cultural and geographical differences can lead to the misinterpretation as well. I think that you have done a good job of staying focused, and not getting caught up in the emotion.

Joema – thanks for the clarification. Do you have any links to these items?

JohnK – agreed, however perception is reality, and repetition keeps the issue alive – unfortunately…..

Minirock – boy where to start?!?! Yes, I said it is all opinion. HOWEVER, properly presented, opinions are accepted. While you started off wrong, I was prepared to listen and learn from your posts. They unfortunately veered of course, and you seemingly became very defensive. I also noticed that your sentences and wording changed, which changed the meaning and direction of your AVS quote. While you may not have been upset by the questions directed towards you, your responses to such did not create an credibility for your opinions, or any follow up conversation you may engage in.

I also think you got confused, as you started by stating Onkyo was bright, to chiding the forum for Axiom conceding they sound bright……something is amiss here.

You also personally attacked a forum member. This is not something an intelligent person should do when the discussion is not going in there favour.

To close, I would like to thank the academy for their supp….oops, wrong speech!!!!

I think I am going to include IMO in my signature!!!!

Mike - I suspect your personally defined "useless posts" would be welcome and an entertaining diversion , so don't let that limit you. No reason the forum can't be somewhat helpful AND fun!

oh yeah...SEZ YOU!!!!

ok, I promise my attendance will be more.....often...as long as Jack will promise to get me a copy of his 39 DVD volume of " How to Win Bingo and Influence Arteries not to Hard " box set!!!!

Assuming he has finished stepping on people's insteps, and stopped harassing Sonicfox!!!
