 AMEN, dtel

BTW, I think the word is "luddite."  Perhaps there are variants of which I am unaware. Anyway, I aren't one.

No reason for any personal attacks from anyone really,..........my opinion is the correct one anyway ! " IMO "

So why did you feel the luddist comment was needed here Mike?  Please explain futher!

It was directed solely at Larry's "maybe..." comment about the P-39 bass and had nothing to do with "technology" - let alone the age of the technology.

mikebse2a3:

So to say that people that still find value in older technology as luddist when they aren't totally satisfied with newer technology is ridiculous.

 

I agree - and I never said that!

Btw, technology is only a means to an end and it is the end that defines whether or not something is good, not the tool that was used to get there.

Thats my point Mike luddite is about someone opposed to technology and for whatever reason Larry feels as he does it has nothing to do with him being opposed to technology IMO and shouldn't be used in a response to him.

Obviously the Klipsch engineers chose midrange clarity over bass performance, but apparently some would have rather had the bass...I just wonder how many are drawing hasty/ignorant/arrogant conclusions...

Happens all to often in Audio sometimes by the best of us

Non-Luddite
