There was a night and day difference between by Sony and by Pioneer receiver in sound quality.

Hey, to be honest, I remember a real difference when I went from NAD separates to a Technics receiver, but I didn't A/B them under any sort of controlled situation.

So, I don't know where I stand on the amp issue. I'd like to buy a more powerful amp, but I'm not sure it'll make any difference. So my problem isn't whether you believe different amps sound differently. Some day I'll have some spare change to buy an amp and I'll see for myself.

My problem here is that 2x6 makes blanket statements about the top posters here shouting down differing opinions, and I don't see evidence of that. I think this place is VERY open in comparison to other forums. Matter of fact, the other day I remember one of those top posters telling some others to be nice to someone with which they disagreed.

2X6 just brings out this "everyone gangs up on me and shouts down differing opinions" argument because he simply can't see that some people feel differently than he does, and that it doesn't mean there's some sort of plot.

He posts his opinion, JohnK and some others post a differing opinion.

The difference is, the others do it maturely while 2x6 starts starts ranting and raving.

I don't want to feed the troll, but it just gets really fu*king old to hear this over and over. It's been going on for years and years. At that point, a person doesn't come here to join in the camaraderie or to be social or even to be helpful, they come here looking for an opportunity to try to bitch slap someone and start an argument.

He doesn't like it? Leave. No one makes anyone stay here.

Thanks for the invite number 7544. I think you have identified the problem - too many people posting on this site. [crickets]

I've been posting here for 9 years ... own more than my share of axiom speakers ... I'll post here for as long as I like or until I'm banned by the faithful.

(to 2x6)
God, I don't believe I'm asking this:

Then what is it you want by bringing up the tired argument again and again? What result are you looking for?

Who is that weird blue guy and what is he spraying?

I'm pretty content all things considered, and thanks for asking.

Personally, I don't like Coke OR Pepsi. That's just me.

I think today's Coke is the New Coke. I don't like either one now, but I used to love Coke.

Here's what happened with Coke:

Coca-Cola was making their original product, and when they introduced a Diet Coke, they formulated it to taste as close to the original, but because it was a different, artificial sweetener it was a completely different recipe.

In the 80s Diet Coke was outselling Coca-Cola, so they figured to save money they'd standardize on one formula, but with different sweeteners. So one batch would get aspartame, and while making the change they also switched over to high fructose corn syrup in the US for the other batch. The later became New Coke.

After much protest they reintroduced Coca-Cola Classic, which went back to the original formula, but stuck with the HFCS instead of cane sugar.

If you liked the taste of the real original Coke, get some from Mexico (or Romania, where I drink tons of Coke when I visit).

Why don't you just stick your fingers into your ears and repeat, "LA LA LA LA ..."?

There is a reason why there are so few people who still post here. It is a group-think intolerance for other points of view.

I get PMs from folks who don't want to post about their favorable impressions of their Axiom speakers driven by tube amplifiers. It's just not worth it to some. This site has become narrow and brittle in its non-acceptance of opinions which contradict what has become the collective and acceptable point of view regarding audio matters.

In any case, congratulations! You have succeeded in reducing this once active forum to a paddock for the few who post 1,000+ times a year to the faithful.

This is not a friendly site. What this site has become is not healthy for Axiom. But hey, at least they have you 8,000+ post folks even if they don't have many visitors who stay.

Let a thousand flowers bloom.
