I've heard plenty of high end Polk speakers. I've heard enough to make my statements. Unless you know of polk speakers that are less expensive than the highest-end and sound better, I don't think my opinions are at fault. However, because you seem to know all about my personality already, maybe this doesn't even matter
Second of all, I am not an idiot, a "retard", or a moron. In fact, I am quite the opposite. I attended one of the most prestigeous colleges in the world. I will now be attending a different prestigeous college for the next two years of my undergraduate education. I will not be humble -- nor will I brag... but I am a highly intelligent person. I also work hard and have very good work ethics.
In addition to the obvious trump my intelligence has over you, you seem to take every little thing as a technicality. Oh sure, you may know me and how I love to argue politics and use a technicality to destroy everybody's opinions. Well, this aint politics mister. And it ain't important either. I was simply trying to help the teenager who started this thread get a good speaker that can last him throughout college. Through my experiences, not one Polk speaker, in my opinion, will be able to do so. So I was trying to help him.
Instead, you obviously feel it's necessary to throw out as many vulgar words as possible into my face, and use a nasty tone. And yes, it is VERY difficult (and actually, impossible, but the tone was certainly implied) to show that kind of expression online.
Third, I feel quite offended to be asked the question if whether or not I have a mental ilness. I indeed do NOT, but to this day I still do much volunteer work with special education children and with mentally ill patients at hospitals. I have gotten to know some of these people very well, and I feel quite upset to see the expression used as a derrogitory term. For somebody who is so bent on making sure you don't come off as a complete jackass, (though, you failed at doing that approximately four posts ago) you seem to perform miserably. You can't be that smart (or, smarter than me, at least) if you cannot find a more appropriate way to offend me.
Since I am a so-called "idiot", I will try to defend myself: I don't care what material it is. It's not wood. Wood is a better enclosure than anything Polk uses for a speaker. In fact, it is the tried-and-true best type of enclosure. The highest-end of speakers use wood. But also keep in mind that most quality speakers use wood too. My speakers have wood. They are some of the best quality speakers I've ever owned or used. I decided after hearing many new speakers for the same price as the Monitor 10 (or maybe it was a 9 or a 7, I don't remember) that it wasn't worth upgrading. My reconditioned speakers from the late 70's not only trumped all the speakers I heard in sound quality, but also in build quality and warantee. Ohm Acoustics supports my speakers to this day, and will even drive to my parents' house to pick them up. That's quite somethin', eh?
And... are you telling me that because I don't have memory of the exact model number I demoed during a session last year (and a half), that I am suddenly a moron? I think you'd be using the wrong insult. The correct insult is that I am:
"A person who can't remember irrelivant information about speakers".
Though, after telling myself that this is what I am, I seem little saddened by the thought.
Don't you think your opinion is slightly biased, much more-so than mine, considering you OWN a pair of these (in my opinion) terrible speakers? Between one person who OWNS them, and one person who has had a good length of experience with more than one very expensive and high end model from the company, you'd think that the guy who HASN'T slaved a lot of money to this company would have a better opinion. After all, it is pretty well-known that if somebody owns a product, that they like to recommend it to others and have a bias over other similarly attractive options.
Unluckily for you, the options in the speaker field are enormous. You only have a strong bias for one particular speaker brand, so far as it appears, while there are virtually hundreds of options this kid could choose from.
Oh yeah, and let's go over forum ethics:
1. You should not post multiple times. You can edit your responses so that you don't flood the thread and look like a jackass at the same time. Others also perceive this action as a foolish attempt to raise your post count. You're obviously too mature for that stuff, so I assume that you were going for the former idea, that you simply wanted to look as ridiculous as possible.
2. Stop thread crapping! mmmmcheese has already PMed me asking my advice personally, and he has decided that he will not be going for his 400 dollar investment, but instead jack up the budget and wait it out. Your polk speakers will not be necessary anymore, nor your feverish ranting.
3. Calling people insulting and politically-incorrect names is asking for trouble.
4. Either PM me or post in the thread. Don't do both!
5. In fact, don't post in this thread at all! That's just ridiculously indecent and uncalled for. This kid requested help, and you gave him a ****hole. And no, I will not answer all of this crap in a PM, as I already typed one out for you. Hope you read this with more intelligence than you used to attack my previous posts. We were having a relatively good discussion with some nice information until you decided it was important to make this thread disappear in a heartbeat.
Whew. I put way too much into this. You're hardly worth it! Though, from the looks of it, you have more than an average amount of money, which could attribute to my attitude toward this pathetic and uncomely discussion.
Have a great day. Hope we get the chance to ruin many more threads along the way.
EDIT: Hmmph. Even more posting has occured during the time it took to post this reply. I appologize that this was "settled" before I was done, but my comments stand. And Julz, thank you for being such a good spectator - although I think that being "opinionated" isn't quite an insult... so thank you for being netural
