I don't think Danny can correct you 6 years later. He is no longer a member.

And as for our other members, maybe you should read some of their posts. Ernie, for example, is probably one of the best in the CI and Home Theater people around. So don't complain about how they have nothing good to comment on. That kind of junk is usually reserved for the Intermission forum. So they wouldn't post it here.

All that they are trying to do is nicely say that we are annoyed by the bringing up of an issue no longer relevent.

"you should be grateful that I enlightened you and graced your site with my presence."

Grateful...in the same way that we're grateful that sewage washes up on shore?

A.G., your qualifications aside, as with most forums, the members do tend to become famaliar with each other, and "newcomers" are usually polite and get to know the regulars. While you may have never jumped in on an old thread before, it has happened here plenty of times before.

There is nothing to gain by being rude or obnoxious, no matter how well versed in the subject matter one is. I'm sure you and I could have some in-depth discussions about AV and acoustics, electronics, electrical theory, and even disagree on some points.

That has absolutely nothing to do with one's social and/or communication skills, and the ability to get along with people, especially strangers. Every society has slightly different "local rules", and it takes a little time to learn them. be as patient with us as you want us to be with you.

Please do continue to contribute, but learn to accept criticizms from those with more, or different, learning experiences than yours, even if (or especially if) that experience is just that they've been here longer than you have. You were a student at some point in time; please don't be to inflexible to keep learning.

Welcome to the forum.

At any moment I expect a mobile home to pull up next to my house.....



Sorry, but you are not an Audiophile....You're an A**.....

An A** that sadly lacks a sense of humor.....

Well I guess I have been put in my proper place. That's surely a good thing. Now if we could only find a place for AG.

Yeah, read Larry's post. We're some of the nicest helpful guys here, but you do have to "learn the ropes" so to speak when it comes to proper etiquette. Sounds like you are off to a good start learning them, based on this post alone!!

Have fun here!

Good morning all!

I think this doomed thread would have been best left buried in the past.

Given that the initial "technical" posts are at best imprecise or at worst just erroneous, perhaps one of the moderators could just delete it. I just hope those guys aren't posting on Wikipedia.

Well, Daniel's really the only person that could remove this. But I really don't think that's necessary. All that stuff is 6 years old...not really important now.

I have read this before when someone dredges up antique posts, and it makes me wonder -- why would you say it?

There is no accidental way to come across a thread this old. In fact, it takes time, grit and determination, and it sounds ingenuous (i.e. like a lie) to say you didn't notice the date.

You say you didn't notice the date. Go back to the forum. As I write this, this post is on page 1 of 134. The way the site is arranged, the lower numbered page is the more recent page. You can also click on the LAST page, which will take you to the first posts in this forum. But Page 134 is in April or May of 1999.

How can you go to the LAST page, then move through several pages until you have come to 2000, and never ever notice the date on anything?



Maybe Floyd has a motor home with a motor home theater.

Oh, yeah, the tone of that last remark reminds me to point out that Trunk Slammer Supreme was being FUNNY when he talked about his sensitive speakers.

And we all joke about the titles here -- I'm called a Super Member for God knows what reason Daniel applied. Founding Members often joke about being foundling members, others humorously ask for other titles. At our shop, when someone makes a real bonehead move, someone else will often say, "It's my fist day!" And when you have spent a year or two here, you will not only see why, you will crack up about it.

I'm not taking the other side. But there is Google that does not require sifting through those 134 pages.

While most of us here regularly use the same brands of equipment and speakers and therefore are very familar with them, I don't think that the issue of speaker sensitivity can be classed as 'not really important now'!

Even if only one person learnt something from A.G. it was worthwhile. Everyone who has flamed him has done so over the original post being six years ago, not over incorrect information!!

And?

Sorry Larry, I worded that last bit wrong, I didn't mean his infomation was wrong (boy, am I going to cop it now!), I meant, whether or not his infomation was correct. In other words, no one has disputed what he says, only it's too late.
Could have been late AND wrong!

I was trying to be funny by agreeing with you. The main criticism WAS about pulling up ancient threads, whether or not the info was accurate. Sort of "Yes, and your point is...?"

To address the subject, I believe a simpler explanation would have been better in order to be understood by someone who needed to ask the question. It's better to impress the one who asks a question than to impress others who already know the subject at hand.

Simply put, speaker sensitivity is the efficiency with which a speaker system converts watts of electrical power to decibels of accoustical loudness. It is dependent upon both the electrical and mechanical properties of the speaker drivers and the enclosure construction.

You are right Larry (I was on my way out the door to go on a date when I quickly read your post and as a result your humour went over my head, no not that one:-) ). Spiky did bring up a good point regarding a Google search, however in this case I think it was simply that A.G missunderstood the numbering order of the pages and went to the 'last' page and as he said........

My point - give the guy a break!!

I have been looking into buying a new sorround sound system for my house. I was doing some research online today so I could better understand speaker sensitivity. After I did a Yahoo search for "speaker sensitivity" and looked through countless pages of confusing and irrevelant information, I found this site.

At first this site was just like all of the others, and not very helpful. Then I read the post from "Audio God" and I finally reached a point where I could fully understand speaker sensitivity.

Then everyone else on this site criticized "Audio God" because his response was to an old post. I feel that criticizing someone for providing others with helpful information is foolish. This is the last time that I am going to acquire information from this site because of the way members of this site have criticized someone who was helpful.

Thank You, "Audio God" for all of your well-put information.
