I appreciate how Ceci describes her experience and character of sound. ... Language use, vocabulary and analogy, is essential in capturing subjectivity. Poetry is often given a license of use to achieve this goal ... In this way, I like that each person has their own language / interpretation to offer .. Over time, each person's taste is validated by their consistency. Censorship, limitation on any of this process seems to only cripple the process... or potentially limit the reach to others who can relate to either person's expression. (First take from the first part of the video) Always amazes me how each person has a slightly different point of view / focus on the experiences / audibly. =) This is a favourite part of audio community. Sharing is a dynamic social practice. It's always nice to see people totally comfortable to share. ( After the reveal ) LEWIS!!! .. You're such a warm character - I empathize with your journey in this video .. Aww man! Thank you. THANK YOU TEAM! .. The stories and style within the group over time are wonderful to see and sometimes be part of during visits.
Great stunt! CeCi was a very nice addition to your channel. For a newbie, she did exceptionally well. These types of changes keeps your channel fresh and interesting. I always look forward to watching! Good luck to you both in your education!
I am so grateful I found this channel, thank you Adrian and crew! And btw, music is about feelings and personal enjoyment, which Cece has been particularly good at conveying. I look forward to her return and meanwhile I will continue to appreciate your future episodes and just envy the people that have the privilige of being your customers. Keep up the nice work!
A fantastic reference Lp to try out is Beck, Morning phase It's exceptionally well mixed. It is like nothing else he has ever done pre or post. Try it out, you will not be disappointed.
What a great place to work with a wonderful group of supportive and fun colleagues. I would love to work there! Sadly I'm on the wrong continent! Best of luck to Ceci, Tristan and Alex in whatever they do next. Greatly enjoyed Ceci'c fresh view on music and gear and sorry to see her go.
Great job, team! What's really special about this video is that it really shows what the vibe in the store is actually like and how all of you are a bunch of light hearted jokers 😂😂
Are the ML's more reliable than QUADS? I have had QUAD 2905, 989 and 57 and they all broke down with rattling panels having to be glued. Loved the sound though.
Way to go guys and girls, Adrian you have truly taken this channel to the next level, excellent job CeCe!!! I wish you two the best in school and hope you can eventually come back for guest appearances. I love the Paul Harvey at the end, “Now You Know the Rest of the Story.
Wow, wow you really had me going Adrian you’re always so nice. I thought you got possessed that day by evil spirit😂😂😂 the new guy is fantastic. Please keep him on he described everything perfectly coherently two thumbs 👍👍up for him.
This video showed me that both Adrian and Ceci have a future in Hollywood, esp Ceci.. Best of all it reveals Lewis for what he is - a gentle hearted caring person whose first thought was to comfort a co-worker being 'bullied' by the boss. Good on all of you for an entertaining segment.
Was the solid state or tube pre-amp mode used on the dual-mode McIntosh C12000 pre-amp? Seems like it would make a fairly big difference if using the tube mode of the pre-amp when comparing against other speakers that used all solid-state equipment.
This was so good and funny. Lewis really didnt know because he sold me when Cici got 'fake upset'. This is good fun and Lewis, dont get too mad. HeyvLewis, Cecibdid thar to you because she loved ya..gave ya a moment youll never forget!
@@Mark-rw3kw it wasn’t even remotely funny to Lewis. The secret to a practical joke it to choose a victim who could be initiator of a joke him/herself.
Bloody brilliant!! I bet all the folks that made the "oh this generation is too soft" comments feel a bit silly. So good!!! All the best to Ceci! She's really sharp and her understanding of marketing really came through this term. I think she definitely brought the AE channel up a few notches. I enjoyed the 101 videos she was a part of, the ad hoc "what not to do to your system video". Very good!! Mike seems like a great addition to the team very knowledgable and very natural on camera. Way to go Lewis. The team took advantage of your kind hearted nature, but you took the joke in stride. Lastly, best of luck in the future to Tristan. You looked stunned! We didn't get to see you much on camera but Im sure your work behind the scenes was helpful!! Adrian...you're an evil genius!!
Wendell Diller (of Magnepan) is going around with a pair of MLs with the woofer gutted, to make the point that one needs a dipole woofer (Wendell's little invention) to match properly a dipole panel. *Including at Adrian's store!* So I'm a bit puzzled that Adrian is now promoting Martin Logan hybrids.
Adrian has always liked ML but had to drop their products when he moved his store to its current location due to another store near him being a dealer for ML. But that other store closed up, which enabled AE to become a dealer again.
Adrian… you played it well… it came across completely asinine but completed unpretentious… perhaps you should have been an actor! Either way, great review. Love the work the team put together. Thanks for the effort at doing it superbly.
Yes. In order to get revenge, Lewis will tell Adrian that he can't make the next video taping and has asked Villup to come and take his place, and Villip has agreed.
@@aussie8114 Villip is not coming back. He was fired for inappropriate behavior. Get over it. I am quite sure that Villip does not want Adrian to reveal in public what that inappropriate behavior was.
If this was a stunt it was in poor taste. Glad I listen to my hifi not the opinions of people I don’t know and in this case don’t care to know. You might spend your time learning to act a bit more like adults. I don’t know the “back story” but Im pretty sure it’s about as helpful as a brick on the Titanic.
That guy who possessed her off is an ignorant fool, people want a speaker to listen to there favorite songs not the ones he thinks they should listen to. If I want to test a speaker I want it to sound good for the songs I’ll be playing.
Adrian, you got me. I watched about half of the video and turned it off. Came back to it and decided to watch till the end and send you a nasty note and unsubscribe. Jokes on me. I wish those young folks well in school.
I was a VERY regular viewer of your channel. WAS. Since Vilip left the content of really insightful reviews of gear has almost dropped to zero. I don't know why he left (or was asked to leave?) but it pales into insignificance compared to what he was able to offer. You're reviewing gear that has taken makers huge cost and skill to develop and are making REALLY lightweight assessment of it. Get your act together or get Vilip back.
Apparently you have not kept up with the videos (and comments from Adrian) and you don't know what is going on. Villip was "let go" due to inappropriate behavior. Adrian has decided to not be more specific about exactly what that behavior was, so that Villip has a chance to recognize his mistakes and be able to move on and find employment somewhere else (which Adrian said would be a lot more difficult if he specified exactly why Villip was let go). The new person introduced in this video (Mike) has extensive audiophile experience with both home and professional gear, and his evaluation skills are at least as good as Villip, and I would recommend you pay attention to what he has to say.
@@Mark-rw3kw Correct... it's a personnel matter and no sense to dwell on it.. Adrian has a business to run and needs people that he can trust. Hopefully, Vilip learns his lesson and is able to continue to make a living doing what he loves.. I don't see Adrian as vindictive type of person hence keeping quiet about the circumstances is totally appropriate.
Too bad you feel that way. Lot's of other channels that you can enjoy. And I sincerely doubt ANY of the manufacturers we review feel the same as you. They consistently reach out to me to express how delighted they are
Sorry but I couldn’t watch this video until the end because I couldn’t watch Ceci be treated so poorly. Unfortunately, I’ve unsubscribed to what I thought was a great channel. Just kidding…😂
Room correction is so hit or miss due to the complex nature of the listener and that old word again, subjectiveness. Also coming from a sound engineering background myself of 30 years I am a big believer that it is a really bad idea and dangerous to give the untrained individual the opportunity to adjust and eq setting. ⏏⏹⏺⏪▶⏩⏸
You are right that it can be harmful. The ARC system is automatic so there's nothing to adjust to set up. After the calibration, you can tweak the bass level to taste
Ceci will definitely be missed, she added something to the channel beyond the typical audiophile stuff. I hope she got a nice ‘retirement package’ so she doesn’t suffer fro audio withdrawal 😊
That act was truly organic!
Hah! You're banned!

nothing else he has ever done pre or post.
Try it out, you will not be disappointed.

Great job, team! What's really special about this video is that it really shows what the vibe in the store is actually like and how all of you are a bunch of light hearted jokers 😂😂
Thank you, might as well enjoy everyone's company since we all work together!

Ceci-academy award winner. Love this channel and everyone in it
We already miss Ceicei.😢 She was fun to listen to when she talked about her audio perception. Her insight was refreshing
Is the Bass Level Control in firm steps or is the control perpetual motion ??
It's continuous
This video showed me that both Adrian and Ceci have a future in Hollywood, esp Ceci.. Best of all it reveals Lewis for what he is - a gentle hearted caring person whose first thought was to comfort a co-worker being 'bullied' by the boss. Good on all of you for an entertaining segment.
I notice that we have not seen Lewis since this went down. Did the joke backfire?
CiCi is a beauty and marvelous, please bring her back!
Wow that was awesome, I totally bought that lol!
Great! Glad we could bring some levity
Was the solid state or tube pre-amp mode used on the dual-mode McIntosh C12000 pre-amp? Seems like it would make a fairly big difference if using the tube mode of the pre-amp when comparing against other speakers that used all solid-state equipment.
tube

sending love and peace to everyone...
Thanks, same to you
What happened to Vilip ?
Oh my..... that's awesome that they are both headed back to the University !
Priceless.
For everything else there's M@sterc@rd.
A very mean stunt. Brilliantly executed - well done all - had me till the last drop.

He has a variety of different products to meet different tastes, in the same way he carries tubes and solid state.
Adrian has always liked ML but had to drop their products when he moved his store to its current location due to another store near him being a dealer for ML. But that other store closed up, which enabled AE to become a dealer again.
ok Im only a bit through and not to the CeCi reveal yet, but the new guy is good.
😃 I was 99% sure something like this was up. 👍
We need a clarification video on the Vilip incident. Better yet, there should be a Vilip reunion.
Villip would not want a public clarification, because it would very likely make it a lot harder to find another job.
@@Mark-rw3kw Are you part of Audio Excellence Canada? I know of Adrian, Ceci, and Lewis only.
@@dacatman2518 No, I am just repeating stuff that Adrian has said in the videos or in the comments.

You can twick the base in the arc genesis program!
OMG, best ending ever!
😁
NEXT VIDEO:
_Paradigm Impressions & Did Vilip Quit?_
😂 have to watch it till the end.
Well you got me. I thought you really made her cry. It was a good joke ; great acting too!
Thanks, we had fun
Lol, you guys are hilarious.
Great prank 😂have a great successful school term.

What a mic drop to sign off
There are few things I hate more than clickbait.
What a sound , beautiful, good , nice , well ...... these adjective don't tell us ANY things .
Mike can be a good addition in lieu of vhilip imo
Mike is amazing!
Totally ORGANIC.....🤣
That guy who possessed her off is an ignorant fool, people want a speaker to listen to there favorite songs not the ones he thinks they should listen to. If I want to test a speaker I want it to sound good for the songs I’ll be playing.
I knew it😊
Really ??? It actually makes sense.. Else why air dirty laundry for the whole community to see ? :D
Well played! HAHAHAAA!
Ha ha! This was great!
B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T !
Overstepped himself this time.
