    things that define a purist.


    1, not being able to decide on a matt or silk finish whilst decorating the living room because he dosent yet, fully understand the sonic benefits of using either one.

    Conversely, I think a purist would describe such an activity more appropriately, as anal.

    A purist wouldn't be painting the room, now would he ? ;) He'd get Audio Freaks to do it for him :D

    someone who spends hundreds of pounds on software and then seven days positioning his speakers for optimum performance and then spots a spiders web in the corner of the celing. that web isent a permenant feture of the room and when gone might imbalance the tonal qualities of his speaker placement.he seeks advice.

    Ive got that one covered.

    Move the spider to the opposite corner of the room, and he will make a similar web to equalise room reflection.

    Differences in web design can be accomodated by trimming with some nail scissors.

    Noooo! You must train the spider to build symetrical webs of exactly the same design ;)
