Re: The last word

Dear Eric,

First let me admit that my last post was purely manipulative, for which I apologise.

Its real purpose was to illustrate the complete futility of this claim, counter claim routine. You see how easy it is on a public website to put a spin on anything!

In reality, I very much doubt that Beauhorns compress the signal, but from my own experience, I'm equally certain that Avantgardes wouldn't mask digititis. But as long as the claims are out there on a public forum, they have to be addressed, to the detriment of both manufacturers!

This thread does illustrate to some extent the downside of specialist public forums. People are free to make whatever claims they like. They may be based on controlled testing, long experience, quick impressions, misapplications of a product, poorly executed demos, ignorance or downright malice. Who's to know?

If you look at how this thread developed, it started with someone claiming how good the Beauhorns are then unfortunately went on to inaccurately assign several negatives to the Avantgardes. Its ended with the manufacturer of Beauhorns discussing whether his speakers sound harsh or compressed.

Given that Beauhorns and Avantgardes are two of the finest products in Hi-fi that I am aware of, that's a shame. Both products should be receiving only rave reviews, but that's simply not the nature of our competitive society.

Steve
