Post Subject: "Beautiful” but themselves.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 12/17/2010

Paull, the horns might be “beautiful” but only themselves. When they are jointed with the rest Macondo spherical chennals then I do not like how it all looks together. Regarding the drivers, I do have a few options, I might slowly exercise them and see how it goes. The Cogent drivers are not really on my list even though they might do 200Hz. I feel the Cogent drivers would be too slow for me and with too little transients. It is known that I never was a big fun of them but it passed 7 years as I heard then – who know what they do nowadays. BTW, juts to drop a few final sketches to the character: the Oswald's Mill dirt who consider himself a “big audio dealer”, as today keep selling his crap to his customers, informing them that I visited him to in order to solicit him to sell Cogent drivers to me at a discount price. I have the actual emails that I can post. The reality is that there was never any conversation between me and Jonathan Weisst about Cogent drivers. We spoke with Steve with whom I was in good relationship with an idea to test-exchange of him driver to my S driver for a few weeks but we never proceed. The reason I tell all of it that you shall not confuse Cogent boys Steve and Rich with Jonathan Weiss of Oswald's Mill. Steve and Rich produce drivers, like I or not some of their ideas they are enthusiasts and they in it due to their interest. Jonathan Weiss however is now enthusiasts, he is not even a human – he is faulty bug that need to be religiously obliterated. Jonathan Weiss has no relation to Cogent, he was gluing himself to Cogent when they got publicity, but thankfully they are not idiots and based upon their warnings they know very well what kind filth Jonathan Weiss is.

I think in future if Cogent go for 150-200V filed coil and will be able to defeat that dull tone then it might be a viable option. Still, it is too big, it require infrastructure with PS – it might be too much. I also would like to have everything in the way exactly how I want (I admit that I am a pain in ass customer) and I do not think that Cogent would have interest to customize their driver specifically for my needs.
