    I’ve been subscribed to the channel long enough to have figured out that you and I have different tastes in sound. That not only doesn’t prevent me from watching, it keeps me watching, because I now have what I think are pretty clear (not opposite) points of reference . And I like that you’re not so damn serious.
    To wit: Elac Debut 6.2 is, for me, terrific. Agreed on everything except bass, of which there is more than enough for me. Helps to have an amp with tone controls, too.
    Is it fun? If fun is more along the lines of Klipsch 600, then no. But those send me running out of the room with my fingers in my ears.
    There’s a great saying in Spanish; “Cada loco con su tema”. Might apply here.
    Keep up the good work and don’t worry so much about the titles.

Now he apologized I'll go back to clicking. Plus the rest of what you mentioned is unrelated to click bait titles. btw I bought 4 of those fosi/ayima amps based on his info but that has nothing to do with click bait titles.

    a) You have nothing to apologize for. I've watched quite a few of your videos and the titles are just fine. Really enjoying your channel.
    b) Based on your earlier reviews I had ordered an almost complete set (couldn't get the C1+, so I picked up a Martin Logan Motion 30i on closeout for $250) of Emotivas to fill out a 5.2.2 surround system (one pair of T1+'s, A1+'s, and A2+'s) a day or two before this video came out. Delivered yesterday and set them up immediately. Wow. The speakers are amazing. I can't believe how inexpensive they are, especially with the crazy cheap sale they're running. About the only knock I could have on them is the vinyl wrap, but they look good enough and rest of the build quality is most excellent. I am so glad your review convinced me they were the way to go. Thank you, sir. My ears really appreciate it.

I found Emotiva through your channel recently and picked up some T1+ towers for a crazy price. Never thought I could get this kind of sound for the price. Much appreciated.
    Edit: Annnnd looks like a few more things are back in stock. Time to get the center and surrounds.

  • @cloudymccloud00

    I hadn't noticed the "click-baity" titles, so that didn't affect me -- but I do enjoy your content! One suggestion, though. Having decided to "buy you a cup of coffee" (which I hope you enjoy), I then look for the "thanks button down at the bottom of the video", and finding none, I then click "Show more" and scroll through the entire list of links below that; then, still finding no reference to thanks, or coffee, I then check through the entire list again (in case I missed it). Having then decided it's not there, I finally try (being very persistent) the inconspicuous looking little button with three little dots on it -- and I finally find what I've been looking for.
    Probably just me being a bit thick; but the reason I persisted with the list of links is that I'd previously come across another UA-camr that put some sort of link, or reference, in that list pointing to how to "buy a cup of coffee" (and so that was kinda what I was expecting).
    That was *slightly* annoying, though. And some others might give up -- or get fed up. Because if you refer to a "thanks button at the bottom of the video" -- it really should be there. It's not -- there's another button you need to click on in order to see it. If there was a link under "Show more" or just an explanation, that would help. Just a suggestion!

    I have to say... I'm a subscriber and a Patreon supporter, but If I can't tell what unit you're reviewing from the title, I don't watch anymore. I just don't watch clickbait titles out of principal. I KNOW they're to drive engagement, I KNOW UA-camrs want us to 'CORRECT' their mistakes or tell you what we 'think' to drive engagement, and I don't want to play that game. I'll comment if there's an intelligent, genuine question asked. I'm at the point where I stop the video the moment the begging for clicks and subscribes start so if you put that at the end of your video, you're smart. You got me with this one. This one was totally clickbait so this one's a freebie.

    I’m glad to hear you and Z have the same opinion that lead 5.2 more likable than 6.2. I am currently listening to the emotiva B2+ I bought because of you mentioning the sale and your recommendation

    I ordered a pair of B2+ with a 12" sub from Emotiva during the memorial day sale and the speakers are backordered for 2 months. It's going to be a quiet 2 months.

    Thanks for all you do on this channel, I find the reviews really helpful and very well done. I saw a review a short while back on the Fluance Ai81 and was wondering if you have any plans on doing a review on the Fluance Ai61, would love to see that review.

    Thanks for the update on Elac 6.2 it saved me $160. I had bought them based on your previous review and I am very pleased with them. Bought thru Crutchfield and they honored the price reduction. Very ethical as a company and they should be one of your sponsors.

    I took your advice snagged a pair of Emotiva B1+ several months ago for $200.00 to use as desktop speakers. Couldn't be happier. Theres a reason they are sold out. Thanks man!

    Are you saying that I won't save thousands on my auto insurance by buying these speakers?? J/K...Your titles aren't any worse than some of the other channels. Content is what counts and yours is quite entertaining as well as useful.

    I do really appreciate your channel. It has helped me alot, thank you.
    I will admit that some of the titles have turned me off lately. I am super sensitive to click bait.
    I feel your passion for the product communicates the best. Maybe just title the videos how you feel about the product.
    Like “I’d skip a few meals out and save up, good speaker”. Maybe your answer is already there. Keep going, you are doing great things.

You offer incite, and that to me that is more valuable than BLINDLY buying these products. Thx for your time and, most importantly thx for your efforts.

    Hi Randy, I just lost the comment I wrote because this page reloaded ahhh... It was long, I am lazy, here is the essence: since you asked - get out of your chair, show us the whole proces of connecting new speakers and your first reactions to listening to it and with some decent microphones the ambiance of the room - I know you cannot reproduce the quality through youtube - nevertheless I always like to check how thing sound even though I know the physics behind it prohibit you to have an accurate experience. As I wished you before, find the right balance between what the algorithm wants and your passion which cannot be faked. I love that you present the idea that you don't have to have the most analytical system to enjoy your music. I think these are two completely different things enjoying music and enjoying the technical part of it. Although both are fun, music bring joy even on worst of all speakers if you cannot do better.

    Dude, anyone who has seen enough of your videos already knows that you are a humble, down-to-earth guy. The last thing I would say is that you try to mislead people. Sure, I do miss some of the early-style CAM video shootouts, but you and the channel have evolved. Keep up the good work!

    I watched your channel regularly a year back when I was in the market for speakers and it was very interesting. I ended up with a pair of BW 602 S2 and am very pleased. So when you guide your subscribers to the speakers they want, you may be doing your job too well. But keep it coming - you are definitely right - there is no reason to pay more for audio than for a car.

    Also, listen to your critics but don’t over focus on them. People complain. Be yourself bc that’s what got you success.

    @cheapaudioman. Thanks for the vid. I am in the market for speakers. I am looking at that fine balance of budget/quality. I do have the klipsch rsx 5 series but am uncertain if they still hold any weight in todays world. They are old now, lol. I'm trying to decide if i can use the rsx 5's for PC bookshelf speakers at least or if its worth still using as a 5.1 surround sound considering the very cheap Jamo Series S series and the like. In your opinion would it be silly to replace the Klipsch RSX 5 series for a new cheaper set? Basically I just dont know enough to determine how antequated these speakers are and if there are cheaper alternatives that provide better sound as technology improves. Thanks.
