TBH MOAN old thing I'm not sure you have the right references. I remember your visiting us at Bristol in 2008 and doing a review on PF, which showed a complete lack of understanding. You even used audiophile jargon, presumably hoping no one would pull you up on it
I think you know what you like and that's that. And you've hated AVI for six years now. Time to move on?
Pathetic Ashley (I won't bow so low as to bastardise your user name)! I'm surprised you remember my visit to your room at Bristol because you clearly do not remember the subsequent events. I did not write a pfm review, I wrote a short post (as part of another AV* marketing thread) that stated that I had heard the speakers and they sounded OK, but that they didn't redefine my expectations at their price point (as you were claiming). I realise that this isn't what you wanted to hear (perhaps you should have used more appropriate source material), but I felt it was fair, and I don't see how it could be interpreted as showing "a complete lack of understanding". I haven't a clue what you are talking about with regard to "audiophile jargon", presumably you mean this as some kind of esoteric criticism - if you don't understand my posts, ask JC or Darren to explain. I have heard many active, and passive, speaker systems; some of these I thought were excellent, some of them average and some of them poor. However, you are correct in stating that I know what I like, I'm sorry that I am not prepared to devalue my standards to be more in line with your own
I don't hate your company, in fact I have no interest in your company. What I don't like is the way that you, and your merry band of shills, choose to promote your product with a combination of half truths and outright lies, coupled to sweeping criticism of other manufacturers products that displays very little understanding of that which you criticise. I honestly can't imagine where you got this 'talk bollocks' marketing strategy from and it is more than a little rich that you criticise me for a "lack of understanding". I see, in this thread, that you are keen on making technical statements that imply you have some kind of grounding, or experience, in such issues - the truth is you have no such experience.
Any way ,now that you and yours have decided to lower yourselves to name calling and misrepresentation of both the past and competitors equipment (though long discontinued), I will leave you to it! I have no issue with the company you currently work for, or the product they produce; I just wish their marketing department was a bit better informed and had higher moral values.
