You haven't heard the 818 so your experience doesn't count. I can't drive a Polo & comment on Passat's performance, simply because they're both made by one manufacturer.

I haven't asked you the question, so stay out of it if you don't have anything useful to add. I know 4 ohm speakers can draw more power out of the amplifier. What's in theory & in reality are two different things. So I'm asking David's experience.

I never said that I have not heard one.  But if you have to hear one to be in a position to comment then that makes your argument against me pointless, as you have not heard one.  David did not actually admit to hearing one.  He just posted a comment based on his experience of Onkyo AVR's.  But either way... what I was saying and what he is saying actually boils down to the same thing.  You are just too full of yourself to realise it.

This is a forum.  I can comment on anything I like.  Especially as I actually have relevant experience and you clearly do not.

But there's a massive difference in the way you said it & David explained it. Apart from ridiculing the reviewers, your language made it look as if Onkyos specifically have a problem driving 4 ohm speakers which is not the case. You still haven't understood why I picked on you, have you?

Any comment by any person is perceived differently by every person that reads it.  How my comments aimed at someone else come across to you should not be taken as an open invitation for you to make judgement on me.

Onkyo AVR's do have a problem driving 4 ohms speakers.  Just like most other equivalent AVR's.

I really do not care why you thought you were picking on me.

Ah, finally! 

So if the other AVRs in the competition at the price point also don't drive 4 ohm speakers properly, why even comment it in a review as a problem with Onkyo?

Takes one to know one, as they say.

 

It seems you felt you hadn't demonstrated your child-like credentials sufficiently through the rest of this thread, but rest assured you have now won the prize.

I looked at the review and posted about it.  Anyone who has any worthwhile experience with 4 ohm speakers would surely realise that it is the same with most AVR's.  There is no point getting the hump with me just because of what you read in to my comments and because of things that you feel I did not say.

From your manner of posting, and the fact you got aggressive when others were perfectly civil with you, I thought I would post in a manner you might understand. I can make the point politely as well, but I'm sure you will misunderstand (possibly deliberately, possibly out of stupidity). The point is that, whether your point is a good one or a bad one, the manner of expressing it affects how it is received. So even if you're right, if you act like a EDITED when you say it no-one will want to hear what you have to say.

 

And btw, you're the one who's deliberately posted profanity on a public forum, whereas mine remains edited.

I find it very funny when people try to justify a post that they made in an attempt to annoy someone else.  If you cannot take sarcasm back in your direction then do not bother trying to dish it out to begin with. talk to the hand

My working conclusion now is a combination of stupidity and being deliberate, tho I'm sure any future posts from you will help me hone that conclusion.

You are free to work towards any conclusion you like as it makes no difference to my life.  Also... you should try swinging that judgemental pendulum back in the other direction once in a while.
