In the Thread: Lamm Industries: a special interview with a special company
Post Subject: Look, they have handles!Posted by Paul S on: 10/6/2008
Regarding Mike's observations: Indeed, there might be more There there than he intended.
He might have said anything at all, but he seemed to get stuck on the "micro-management" issue.
Sound familiar?
Who would be surprised if the ML3 turned out to be +/- a BIG ML2.1, ie, more of the same?
AFAIK, L has not specifically addressed - let alone made any appologies - for any shortcomings in any of his products, and he appears to have stayed the course in product "development" over the years.
On the one hand, why mess with "critical"/commercial success. OTOH, it appears to me that he actually does believe that his every expression of his hard-won "core principles" will win out in any product form he chooses.
And if you listen to the man there's no reason to think L listened to the ML3 any more than he has done with his previous designs.
I have been messing around with my ML2s for almost 2 years now. While I remain basically happy with them, and I am sure I use them quite differently than Mike would, conceptually and contextually, I have to say Mike's words have a oddly familiar ring to me.
Maybe Mike was just particularly sensitive that day, since I don't remember him talking like this about the ML2s or their "successors", the ML2.1s. So, maybe Lamm has made the ML3s not just bigger but "even better" than the ML2.1s, to the point where the Mikes of the world are finally noticing and talking about "micro-management".
Then again, I did not see if/where Mike mentioned the "adjustable feedback".
Not that this has anything to do with "micro-management" or "dynamics"...
