Well Samsdad, I do apologize for the disagreement, but Jeff GeneticDrift has stepped over the line of acceptable forum behavior. He has presented his opinions as if they were fact, and then insulted those who posted opinions contrary to his, rather than let the statements stand on their own merit. On top of that he has personally insulted some of the nicest, even-handed, fair, and reasonable members on this forum.
No one here minds at all if he prefers Paradigm. We have several members who own, and prefer, other brands of speakers. The difference is that they do not become arrogant and insulting when faced with those who disagree with them. We strongly object to that. His credibility is now null and void on this forum.
The one thing he's said that has value, is that this is a decision only you can make. Keep in mind that speaker preference is a totally subjective decision. One man's ceiling is another man's floor. This is why we are happy to have, and encourage participation by, members who have other brands. All we ask is that they present their opinions as just that, opinions. And, we ask them to be respectful of those who hold opposing opinions. Unfortunately, Jeff doesn't get it.
