Actually he isn't speaking of "timing" in the sense of the original review, but of time domain response rather than frequency domain or spectral response, which is a perfectly valid comment. A time domain plot to a step or impulse response is a valid test that will display the units damping amonst other things

I know. I wasn't either. I was reminded of it because of the comment. The rest of the comment is really not that relevant for his argument, though.

The "timing" in the review remains nonsensical.

Hi

For those of you that is interested, there is a review in a swedish magazine:

Unfortunately, it is in swedish. I suppose you could use some translator. Anyway, they liked it. A part from the good sound, they really liked the usb and the possibility to use it as a computer speaker. They thought that B&O should have been more clear about this matter.

I don't know where else to post this, but I hurried home from a long day at work to enjoy a few minutes with the Peter Marks thread. At first I was enchanted that the thread had grown to 6 pages, and then devastated to see that it had been locked and Mr. Marks banned. 

BeoWorld, and syntax, lost a shining star today.

Alex,

Don't waste your breath. "Electrified" seems to know a fair bit - which, humorously enough, no one is arguing, despite the fact that his replies are always mega-defensive, even when there's nothing to defend. But on the occasion he is wrong, God himself could come down and let him know about it, and this guy would have the stupidity and audacity to argue with the Almighty.

Anyway, there were alot of audiophile garbage words thrown around in that review - just chalk it up to the author's ignorance. But yes, the T/S parameters of a driver do indeed change after the suspension has been well-flexed for awhile. Even he admits it:

Sure there will be a difference from the fitting of an unused unit to that of one having moved a bit. But your burn-in periods and whatnot remains nonsense.

Don't worry about it. It's him, not you. The bad attitude, I mean. Take care!😁

Hang on, god is a fictitious character....

Well, since this is an electronics forum, this isn't the place to argue that.

Anyway, believe what you want; you certainly sound like your mind is made up anyway. But, you might regret that belief in the future, just to let you know...

Truly I wish you the best!🙂

Wait, which god are we talking about? Zeus? Osiris? I can't remember which one is supposed to be real right now!

Anyways, I think we should start a petition to bring back Peter Marks and re-open his thread. That's something we can all believe in!

Digital=fictitious?

Oh, I get it, you were joking!

Although he was entertaining in the sense that we laughed at him, not with him, and although I am aggressive too, his behaviour was way over the top. I have received a lot of flak for my modus operandi (which I don't mind getting), but he was so much over the top and reacted so strongly calling people allsorts tom make his point (er, if he had had one).  He was abusive, and in dire need of help, not in need of getting bashed by people, even if he had it coming.

I think it was Lee who stated it had become more of a freak show than anything else, and although that sort of thing can be entertaining, I can't see the use of it here. 

It was also mentioned that if they allowed him to be (so) abusive, they couldn't well slam down on others, and that's a good point in my book too.

I'm not so sure what or who it would benefit for him to come back. Surely it wouldn't benefit him.

As for the Swedish review mentioning using the BS8 as computer speakers, I agree: That is certainly something B&O should have advertised more, or should begin advertising more.

They seemed to really like it!

I'm glad the HiFi press (even if they are sort of evangelistic) starts to take B&O seriously.
