The levellers At the same

The levellers

At the same time, its been very disappointing to read the many mean-spirited, spiteful, and downright vicious comments and remarks that have been posted about people who are only indirectly involved in this controversy. The web allows for the free flow of information, but it also allows people to feel that they can expose their hatefulness and neuroses without consequence. Polite discourse and civil differences of opinion seem to have vanished from our society. Thats very sad. I hope you will continue to allow polite criticism and divergent opinions. I certainly cant fault you for summarily removing all previous remarks due to certain individuals inability to refrain from unleashing their inner jackass. Posted on January 19, 2010 5:38 PM I dont agree with some of the purely personal attacks made against various people. However, HTR seems to have lumped anyone that offered objective criticism in with a few negative people as a way of avoiding several pointed, valid questions. Yes, we underestand the personal attacks were uncalled for. However that doesnt alleviate Lexicon, HTR, or Ken from explaining some of the rather glaring disparities that have been pointed out. The only the levellers in which those explanations cant be given is if there is something to hide, which I hope isnt the case! Posted on January 19, 2010 6:33 PM I think you hit the nail on the head when you talk about discourse. From Newts Contract with America to You are either with us or against us from our former Commander in Chief to Rush Limbaugh and many others the idea of being able to discuss differing opinions is seemingly gone. Everything is black and white in a world loaded with shades of gray. In the old days of Washington politics Senators could battle it out all day on the hill and then go pound a few scotches while discussing the issues of the day. Nobody is giving Harman credit for helping Oppo make the player better. Oppo said its true to me DIRECTLY today. THX helped as well. Both on the video front. Posted on January 19, 2010 6:37 PM Ken has the flu and but wants to post when he is feeling a little better. As for his opinions I am sticking with them. His experience reviewing nearly 12 Blu-ray player and having owned or reviewed ALL of the best AV preamps from the levellers Anthem D2v to the Meridian 861v4 to the Krell Evo 707 to the Classe SSP-800 gives him insight that I think if you look into the more audiophile reviewers they simply dont have. If you dont want to agree with Ken thats cool with me and likely Ken. Some of the stuff Ken told me and note: I didnt do the review was that the player is notably more quiet. Its built better. The menus were better or easier as I remember what he told me. Once again, I will allow him to comment.
