verdict on what?

p.s. - hide your wires in the wall they look bad dangling down like that.

 

[reallyscrued]

I'm almost scared to ask but...please tell me you mix and master music as a very, very serious hobby.

EDIT: Oh wait, you're the coconut audio guy.

 

[richardycc]

The verdict is gooooooooood.

They are like legs of a lady. Looks pretty.

I could have drilled holes to run the wires behind the drywall but don't want to do that. My house is only 3 years old and all walls are in mint condition. I don't want to keep punching holes... ^_^

Why are you scared?? I bought them for *listening* to music, not for mixing. You must be new.

EDIT: Oh wait, you're the coconut audio guy.

Specifically speaking, I am the coconut audio customer. We are talking about speakers here so don't go off topic young man....

nice credenza...what brand and model name?

Thanks. I bought it 3 years ago to complement my house but it is intended for wine storage. I don't drink wine. Unfortunately I don't remember what the name / model this is... Bought it for good deal as it was a demo unit.

that is retarded and to be 100% honest it looks like crap. it's very easy to do so and make it look clean and professional. i'd think the guy who spends thousands on power cables would know this.

even if you put "holes" in your wall that you don't want you can patch them up as though they were never there.

Nice looking speakers.

Definitely not cheap.

I know what looks neat and what's not. But that has nothing to do with what power cord I buy. This is a speaker thread, you troll....

It can never be as good as the original condition. Of course it can be patched, but I don't want to keep drilling holes. You must be new.

Thanks. They retail for $2000 for a pair. I like these speakers a lot.

well then you know that your setup looks messy, but if you like messy then do your thing.

don't post pics and not expect feedback.

Pet peeve of mine is, people mounting a display on the wall and then just leaving the wires dangling. If you aren't going to mount it properly, don't do it at all. It just looks trashy.

It doesn't look messy, just not stellar. I wasn't showing off my TV installation. The pictures were taken to compliment the speakers. Hiding the wires / cords isn't my top priority. You must be inexperienced.

No, I will continue to post pics. You don't like the pics and bothers you that much, don't view them. You can either set your web browser to disable images, or don't click on my link thread. You whine a lot like a little girl.

Bought $900 monitors for listening to music? You must be an amateur.

 

[spacejamz]

if you don't want to hide them in the wall, at least get the cord cover thing and use double sided tape...

same, and another pet peeve is when they have the tv mounted too high, which happens A LOT.

inexperienced at what? making things look sloppy?

 

[Anubis]

you cant argue with him he has special needs

 

[Ketchup]

Why are you guys so adamant about the dang wires? It's his place, he can do with as he wishes.

purbeast0, I don't see people criticizing the way your setup looks.

 

[cheez]

$900 each. $1800 a pair. People with high taste in music as well as the people that work in music studios use these. You must be young.

obviously he can do as he pleases, was just pointing out that it looks kind of sloppy and since he was worried about putting holes in his walls as being his reason not do to it, i pointed out that you can do it very cleanly, and then he started personal attacks and getting butthurt.

i'd have no problem with people criticizing how my setup looks. everyone has their own opinion. i wouldn't get butthurt over it though because i'm doing it the way i want to do it.

oh and i've had many a criticism's on my "rack" just not on these forums. but i don't care because i don't need a fancy smancy rack and it is perfect for my needs .

but you are right, there is no need to carry on with it so i'll stop.

 

[cheez]

I could. But like I said hiding wires isn't my priority and I don't feel the need for it, at least for now.

same, and another pet peeve is when they have the tv mounted too high, which happens A LOT.

Mounting the TV high like mine is good, for me. For one, it looks better in a room with tall ceiling / vaulted. Two, setting up TV too low makes it look smaller.

inexperienced at what? making things look sloppy?

You are thinking about decoration, but the pics I posted here isn't for that. You are thinking too narrow, which is why I said you seem inexperienced.

you cant argue with him he has special needs

That I don't disagree.... your post is OK.

High end monitors (and speakers) are typically sold individually. My '$900 monitors' response implied a total of double. If you bought 2 $500 TV's, would I say

Bought $1000 TVs

or

Bought $500 TVs

But, hm...making sure people make no mistake on the actual cash value of your equipment. You must be poorly endowed.

You don't have to spend a lot of money on speakers to consider oneself a "pro". Being an amateur or pro isn't a concern for me. It's the speakers I am posting about, not whether I am an amateur or not. You don't seem to understand the concept I am getting at, which is why I said you seem young, inexperienced.

You don't have to post about your speakers to enjoy music. Being young and inexperienced isn't a concern for me, it's your trollishness I'm posting about. You don't seem to understand the concept I am getting at, which is why I said you seem an amateur and poorly endowed.
