Originally posted by Dreamaster One is a large tower with many "cheap" drivers, versus a bookshelf with only 2 "expensive" drivers... but they should be compared because the cost is a lot closer than say the M22ti comparison that you guys made a few months back. |
Originally posted by Mad Dog anyone in the So Cal area w/ the higher end Axioms is more than welcome to bring their speakers by to compare w/ the Ref 1s at my place... |
Originally posted by cschang Harder to move the bigger Axioms than the Ref1s' though. I'd like to bring by my CMT-340's some day when you aren't working so much! |
Originally posted by spiffnme Here's an offer for you. I have the M60ti's. They're powered by a Rotel amp and Rotel RSP-1066 processor. I even have speaker switcher box that we could use. You're more then welcome to bring your Onix Ref 1's over for a side by side comparison. I'm just not willing to lug the M60's out of here. |
Originally posted by Sa-dono spiffnme: First off, you might want to try addressing the person in question (manners and all, if you never learned that). Secondly, you've had many offers from MD for auditions. You have always mentioned time constraints. Now you are "not willing to lug the M60's." Considering that many others have transported floorstanders for comparisons, I'm not sure where the problem lies. Thirdly, I personally don't feel your gear is quite up to snuff (in comparison to what is available) for a comparison with a higher end speaker, and most speaker switches create a fair amount of degradation to the signal. Just some thoughts and advice, should you really want this comparison to take place.... |
Originally posted by spiffnme ...Mad Dog, help me out here, but I don't think you and I have ever been in contact before for demoing anything have we? |
"Not up to snuff??" Since when is $3100 of Rotel gear not "up to snuff" to playback a pair of Onix Ref 1's? Give me a break...PLEASE! |
Originally posted by spiffnme First off, Sa-dono, my offer was to anyone who was interested, no one person in particular. |

Secondly, perhaps you're getting me confused with someone else? Mad Dog, help me out here, but I don't think you and I have ever been in contact before for demoing anything have we? |

Lastly the speaker switcher is simply a matter of convienience, and any added "noise" would be heard equally by both speakers. Do you have a better suggestion for A/B listening? |
