Sorry, Dr. Geddes, but that's NOT what you said.

Dr. Geddes,

I'm sorry, sir, but that's patently false - you walked into our demo room, while a group of people were listening to a relatively quiet passage of music - pointed at the horn on our Stonehenge V/704 system that was playing, and LOUDLY proclaimed, "That horn's too small!". You then proceeded to tell everyone in the room - again quite loudly - what was wrong with our speaker, specifically about the small Mantaray horn's inability to maintain directivity control in the lower regions of it's audio bandwidth.

My reply, as you will recall, was "Well, it's not going down very low - it crosses over around 1600 Hz."

Your reply was (loudly), "It's STILL TOO SMALL!"

My reply was, "Maybe so - but it sounds GREAT!" :-)

Everyone in the room smiled, chuckled, and you went off in a huff.

Yes sir, you DID make derogatory comments about someone else's products, and you did it publicly - with witnesses present - despite your claims to the contrary.

Personally, I like the sound of your speakers, and have stated so both publicly and privately. The ONLY critique I have made is about my ability to hear the apparent acoustic source location shift as the fundamental frequency(ies) being listened to drift up and down and up and down between the low and high frequency devices in your system. Certainly you know that EVERY loudspeaker system that utilizes multiple drivers that are not mounted coaxially has this problem - so it's not just YOUR speakers that I am talking about.

Of course, our 704 COMPOUND loudspeaker doesn't have that problem, as both the HF and LF devices are vertically AND horizontally aligned - there is never a question as to where the source of the sound is coming from... ;)
