Sorry to disturb the party. But are you guys sure it is coaxial, strongly and well enough constructed, has the right Class poweramp and is worth this amount of money? Hype works I guess.
Concerning TK and JM I have very different "adventures". But then again if it works for you...be happy.
While I always appreciate your input from either the far left or far right side of the "
all things Fractal" fence, I do have to ask, why do you have SUCH a hate on for them and anything related to?
Let me rephrase. I had my run up the flagpole with Mr. Chase at the onset of the A2's release; stating some poor business tactics that didn't bode well with me personally and professionally at that time. It was weird, and there were definite "issues" from a legal business point of view that I brought to the table. Sure, sure, it was met with infantile hostilities and then even weirder infantile pleads; but it was based on "something". That's over now, and I am - yes - still surprised that the corporate communications and model still seem to be managed by a bunch of bratty school children; but it is what it is.
You seem to watch - very carefully, consistently, and diligently - all things having to do with public discussions about Fractal, and now, Fractal's related business wares (ie: Atomic's CLR product). I find it cool that you're passionate about this topic, but what is it that drives you into such obsession about keeping them down and in a negative light? I agree, there's a LOT of blind faith going on with all things Fractal, a LOT. And I also agree that there's a lot of obfuscation at the business level - everything from Axe-Edit to mods deleting posts of intriguing content and question, firmware releases, etc. It's not a touch feely company at all. Any touchy feely comes from its users and their forum, which is also heavily policed. But all this aside, there is at the end of it - a good product and one than many musicians are growing to rely on completely. It works. And it's also extremely advanced, and I do applaud the engineering that's gone into this box and continues to go into this box, all politics aside. But what is it about Fractal that you despise so much?
Moving forward, Tom King is a stand up guy. Jay Mitchell knows his shit. The two of them have put together what has thus far been a very successful FRFR product. It's cheaper than a lot of the competition, yet ranks higher in performance than many of the competing products - several of which cost a lot more. They're designed in the US, and made in China. Regardless - they work and apparently sound terrific. It was said they're definitely coaxial, and this information was released at the onset. They could be lying - absolutely 100% - this is something they
could be doing. They could be lying about the size of the driver, for sure. And already - because of the weird cloak and dagger manner by which almost
everything pertaining to FAS has been delivered over the course of the last few years, many people suspect that there's something "not right" about them. But until proven otherwise, we have to go on what we're given. Looking at it from sheer lies and corporate profiteering, if the product sucked - we'd have heard about this by now. If the unit wasn't truly coaxial, this would have been communicated by one of or some of the suspicious people mentioned above. And if the drivers were mis-sized, we'd have had definitive proof thereof by now. But no, the waitlist is active and eager, and the product has delivered in all respects to those who have received it thus far.
So, sure, where there's reason to be suspicious and a little weirded out by these guys; we don't have concrete evidence as to their fucking us in broad daylight. So why the hate? I think Tom King and Jay have come together and put something cool out for us users - are they simply "guilty by association" in your perspective?
Let me know. Just curious.
