I've been avoiding posting anything in this thread for awhile, but since it's all gone sour, here's my opinion on this whole thing.
1. The Ninja would appear to be a legit businessman. 2. Poor timing on the offer to Ian made us legitimately suspicious. 3. I don't doubt that a redesigned crossover would make the M22s sound different. 4. I believe the M22s sound excellent as is! 5. I don't think that these premium components that he uses would provide a significant improvement over correctly rated components of the same type. 6. I would be curious to see the comparo build between cheap, correctly rated components and his components. I suspect there would not be a difference in sound detectable by the human ear, even in ABX testing. 7. The guys at AV123 would seem to be a tad less science minded than we are. 8. Ninja put up with a lot of crap here, but that's what happens when you get introduced like that and then are forced to pull out of a promised comparison. 9. This forum ain't the only one that gets caustic sometimes.
