I believe the term for this type of customer in the retail industry is "lay down." They simply come in and say "I don't have a clue, just give me something good." ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++ Actually a "lay down" is when someone comes in knowing exactly what they...

Just because the dealer in my neighborhood isn't affordable should be an opportunity for the dealer to complain about lost sales >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>END QUOTE I don't think the thread started with the dealers complaining, but rather the shoppers....I admire the person who has the free time to...

No way a receiver's amp section can compete with really good quality amps, even the very expensive receivers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Absolutely true. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++ I can think of a...

Yep, that's the one.....

What is more suprising to me is people getting upset that consumers aren't will to pay retail and are getting indignant at consumers asking for a discount. These kind of practices are what keeps me from ever buying Rotel, B&W, Pardigm and a bunch of other companies. The great thing about the...

Wow , I agree with all of the above , and am VERY familiar with both lines....I have nothing to add....

1603, 1602, 1803, 1802 are the models that have given me pause of late...running them with less than very efficiant speakers becomes a chore and soft-clipping occurs....they work fine on the Klipsch where ,indeed, they sound smoother than the Yammie (synergy), but with B&w's, Mirage, and a...

Agreed Any bipolar period. My old Mirage M7si, and M5si were very difficult as well. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + Wow, the Mirage reps favorite demo is to place them "uncentered" in a room, facing each other and play them...tells you to walk all around the room, and...

Ever see those creative labels given to markups the last time you bought a car? You said in an earlier post that our obsession with low price is killing the service industry. Dealers are as much to blame for this. Maybe it's because the service provided is not worth the cost by many buyers...

NOTE: Put 7 channels of amplification in the Outlaw 950 and call it the 951 and you have a very nice 1600.00 receiver. (but then it probably wouldnt compare to the 950 for processing purposes, huh ) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++ This is a tough one...if you take what...

I'm sorry, I meant Brand/Model of mains....my bad

Just wondering which speakers people here had trouble "dialing-in"...I know of a few "tricky" ones, anybody want to start the list....?
