Mulimedia Speakers?

I see that nice creative labs Gigaworks review, but NOT once in the review did they mention the primary competitors, the Klipsch ultras. Then there was that nice DDTS-100 review, but yet, where did they talk about the Klipsch DD5.1? Hmmm, in fact, does this website even know about Klipsch.

Hey they make really cool computer speakres, but if you llamas (I'm referring to tomshardware writers ) bothered to look at ANY computer store, you would have noticed them surly because pretty much everyone sells them and many websites gives review expect you lazy people.

So I’m guessing you only do reviews when you get money for it. I know creativelabs is a little marketing machine and I don’t doubt they asked this site to do all those reviews.

PS: get a speaker forum, I mean you have a [INSERT 4 LETTER WORD] forum for CD-ROM’s and then a sperate board for DVD’s, and then a board for cases. Give me a break, speakers coast from 100 to 500 dollars and you don’t think anyone needs to discuss them before they drop ½ a grand of a set? You guys need to widen your multimedia horizon, this is just pathetic.

Hey arsehole, STFU. You should be permanently banned for your stupidity.

For anyone else stupid enough to listen to this troll: Computer sites don't have the money to buy hardware. They request parts for review, and the manufacturer chooses whether or not to send them.

So you love Klipsch? Guess what? They didn't think YOU were worth the cost of sending in speakers for review. They don't want YOUR business. The fact is companies only send out review products to sites they believe will help them win customers. And they didn't want your business bad enough to send anything to this site. So it's either their fault (because you really DID paln to buy their product) or your fault (because you really weren't going to buy them in the first place).

Your logic fails. It's like saying "America didn't nominate Colon Powel for the last election because they're racist" after Colon Powel anounced he wouldn't accept any nominations!

Exactly. BTW, nice use of the word arsehole!

It's a sad fact of the industry that companies sometimes send better-than-retail parts, but it's like that everywhere, even Car and Driver gets their test cars on loan from the manufacturer. There's just not the money in journalism that would allow publishers to buy everything they test.

Sad but true, it's a problem that can't be helped.

if you want to say <b>as<b>s</b>hole?</b> just go ahead and say it, I don't like posting on G ranted forums anyway.

You want to ban me for giving you some tuff advice? We all don’t have the best of the best, and when your PC can’t get any better, you start improving other components like your speakers.
So this forum does not tolerate criticism? When you learn to do that, you will have that much better of a website. Not saying this site is bad, I don’t read it myself I don’t like the reviews but many others do. In any case, I’m surprised no one really cares about multimedia, that pretty much includes, soundcards, DVD players, DVD's, computer monitors, DVD software, EAX, A3D, Surround sound. Now I know that’s not true, therefore your statements about people no giving a crap about speakers invalid. I realize high end MM is a rather new market, but it will grow, and I’m just suggested you start a forum, I know it will be more successful then you think. There is a whole group of people who don’t even post here.

If you're not here to piss anyone off, you might try authoring a post that doesnt include baseless accusations of favoritism and name calling within the first 2 paragraphs.

I would "just say it" except that the root word is obliterated by automatic sensoring

This site allows plenty of criticism when it's not baseless. If you were to criticise them for using free parts, everyone would agree it's less than ideal, but nobody would have a solution. If you were to criticise them for using slower timings on an AMD platform than an Intel platform, it would be their own fault for not explaining why they did so. If you found a technical flaw, you could criticise, and they might actually correct it. But if you criticise them because another company refused to send a product for review, you come off as stupid.

Look at the latest power supply roundup. See any Enermax power supplies? No, Enermax didn't send any. Looking at the brands they did review, you see the Fortron 300W and 350W, but not the 400W. Why? Fortron didn't send it.

If you like your company enough to feel slighted when a product isn't reviewed, perhaps YOU should donate it, since the company doesn't feel you were worth wasting their review sample on.

Wow, you really are hard headed aren't you? How many years did you take 10'th grade remedial math?

You call Tom's biased for not buying speakers. If they bought your favorite brand but forced everyone else to donate parts, THAT would be bias. When will you get it through your thick skull that it was YOUR FAVORED COMPANY that excercised bias by NOT sending their product to this site? Obviously they've sent them to other sites, or you wouldn't see reviews!

You claim that "A LOT of other review sits" buy their hardware. Well, at least you said they were less popular. Probably because they only review the few parts they can afford. That's because ALL the major sites rely on venders to supply whatever they want to be included in a review, at no cost!

So quit complaining about Tom's lack of BIAS. Quit telling us they should give YOUR company the leg up by buying their stuff. Your company was to biased to send the parts, you whining does nothing but defeat you.

So what the hell are you doing posting on it then, you moron? Jesus, you really are retarded. What you doing hanging around in here then, waiting for the special bus to pick you up and take you back to your padded cell?

Don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way out, you waste of oxygen.

LOL, let me tell you something that might enlighten you:

10th grade remedial math is for people too slow to do any sort of algebra, so it's basically 6th grade math for 10th graders. My calling you a stupid young adult was no compliment, it would be better to be an average adolescent.
