Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

Richard,

I think we should differentiate (and this should be applicable no only to this thread/post but to whatever you might read on this site) two very distinctive things: a seriousness on the subject and a seriousness of “perceive ourselves” on the subject.

I am quite serious on the subject, that subject was a source of my interest and intention in past. I have a highly polarized opinion on the subject and I put all my seriousness behind it. However, how serious I am about it? Not serious at all, or I would say I do not really care about it.

Let me I explain what I mean. On this forum we collaborate on the specific subjects and the scope of our interests are severely restricted but the subjects of the threads. We kind or present the binary snapshots on the subjects. Therefore it is easy to get a perception that if a person expressed a highly polarized opinion then the person is all into the subject and any alternative take is a huge violation of the person liberty or interests. Nothing could be further from the truth!

We are talking about quite abstract things and I, along with anyone else (I hope) am very “seriously” understand the nonfigurativeness of those conversations. I would not kill myself if I put a dipole in my own listening room and I do not send Anthrax filled letters to anyone who has dipoles in their rooms. During all those discussions we are talking explicitly about the conceptual advantageous solutions and it has nothing to do with what we chose to implement in our real live, or did not chose to do anything at all. Certainly there are thousands reasons why we do what we do, and why we do not do what we do not do….

I always have a difficulties to understand why audio people (I do not talking about you but I generalize) bind their positions about audio reproduction with this own lives and own accomplishment. It always surprised and puzzled me why somebody’s comments that “your tweeter sound too harsh” some people perceive similar to “your kids are ugly” or “your mama is whore”. Come on this is just audio and we all use each other to learn!

I do not think that you have to justify why you chose to use dipoles. The important in here is to understand each other’s reasons and try to find for yourself if the other person’s motivations are applicable and will be confirmed without the scope of your own objectives.

So, seriousness is not a property of relation between the person and subject but rather the relationship between the person’s incentives and his/her conclusions.
