Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo very critical review of the VP150...makes me wary

truth be told...i don't know what exactly i love about that one album..i just find that i do not like most of their other music...maybe "fly by night" but that's really about it...sorry to offend..everyone has their own taste....i just find carress of steel to be an amazing album...front to back

Accurately, and articulately said, Tom.

If you don't want to offend, saying something "sucks ass" is not exactly the way to go about it. Especially when you say it twice.

Does he ever say anything that's not accurate and articulate? I think Tom is far and away our most articulate board member. I read his posts on threads I have little interest in just to enjoy his deft use of the English language. Three cheers for Tom!

Yeah, Tom's a keeper. His wife and kids are lucky to have him.

!

I am lucky to have my family, and I feel fortunate and happy to have each of you in my life, also.

If you guys' opinions were only slightly more credible, I'd take them to my boss or my wife or something.

JohnK still rocks my cyberworld, especially when you consider concision and substance. I just like to type.

Your kind words are deeply appreciated. It is a pleasure to be in the company of good people.

Amen.

JohnK is a very close second. He's a bit more clinical, whereas you, are an artiste.

I guess it’s my nature or maybe too many dead brain cells, but I’m still failing to find any offence to the post or the way it was presented.

I also fail to see where anyone said the words “sucks ass” in regards to any speaker. And who really gives a rat’s ass if the review is from an acclaimed audiophile expert or not? I certainly don’t, they don’t have my ears. A review is nothing more than someone’s opinion based off how that person just happens to be feeling the moment they write it. This one has both pros and cons. Big whoopi….. my farts stink and I don’t mind it when I’m told they do. At least they’re noisy so everyone knows they’re coming and have the option to stay or leave. I appreciate reviews that present both bad and good and don’t pay much attention to them if they don’t present both sides.

I appreciate the way the ‘posse’ likes to police and keep things in check, but I’ve also been shot at and got the crap beat out of me by some of them for stating my opinion. So, from that perspective, it sucks not being able to state an opinion without fear of retaliation. And that’s what y’all are doing when you are too quick and too harsh with policing activities. It is for that reason that I no longer offer an opinion and stick to casual conversations. If I had not made a few friends on this board, whom I’d actually like to meet in person some day, I wouldn’t visit at all with the exception of asking specific questions. I’m pretty thick skinned and can take a lot of BS, so just imagine the calming effect that you posse members are having on others that happen to be more sensitive. Shoot the bad guys, not the settlers. And leave the Indians alone, they’ve been shot at enough.

OK, end of rant and I’m now stepping away fro the podium. Don’t shoot!!! I’m unarmed and can spare no more brain cells!!

I smoked a lot of, err… leafy vegetation listening to Rush in my teen years. Permanent Waves was my favorite, with a Farewell for Kings coming in second place.

I think the posse was more responding to the way the review was posted, i.e. the poster not citing the source, more than the substance of the review. Axiom owners or any other speaker brand owners see/hear negative or unfavorable reviews of the products they own almost everyday, everyone has different tastes in sound and they realize this. However, I think this Axiom board has the ability to take every review, whether good or bad, in stride and with a grain of salt. I think if this kind of review were posted on any other manufactures board it would be either deleted immediately or elicit a much more vicious response.
