I'm bright enough to know I've got issues with folks that seem to think they know best, and keep reminding you of that, since they've tried something that didn't work out for them and then that automatically means that they can put a blanket over all system with a vaguely similar implementions and expect the owners to agree with them.

Am I on a long journey because my system, ideals and opinions aren't where yours are right now? Is that how you judge others - by your own views and journey? It sound arrogant and stuckup to me. Realise that you aren't the only one 'into' hifi and your methods and opinions on how this journey should progress and ultimately end means little to anyone and neither do mine. Perhaps if you tried a more constructive approach to critisicm it would be met with similar respect.

Its clear that I'm passionate about my system and very much enjoy it. As far as I'm concerned if it gets better than this then great, I'll be happy to be on that journey. To say I'm at the start is a little rich considering I've covered ground that others don't even consider - making their own stuff tailored to their needs.

Read back your posts and then consider how it looks to others looking on. Bitter would be the best word for it, quite why I'm not sure.

I was wondering when you'd turn to insulting the system rather than the person, cheap shot. Its your style though. I have to laugh at your 'proper' crossover design thing, you obviously don't know who or what I'm about and if you don't care then why are you concerning yourself with the specifics? Did it make you feel better telling me that or are you hungry for more?

So far I've seen absolutely zero that would qualify you to make judgement on xover design. If your talking about design competancy on a technical level then consider the step response I posted. I'm sure many folks into accuracy would aspire to such a measurement. And you haven't heard the system so if your passing judgement on the sound then you just got egg on your face, oh wait! What didn't work for you obviously doesn't work for everyone else.
