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...
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...
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...
High DollarRecievers had better have Pre-Outs as their Amps are Crap ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++ Actually, what we're saying is we would hope they had better pre-outs!!!...Anbody know which mnfgr of both a rcvr and stand-alone pre-pro tauts the fact that the rcvr...
It makes no sense to buy cheap separates just for the sake of buying separates. And believe me there are some cheap separates out there. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++ TRUE ENOUGH, I think that in the $1,000 dollar range the level of quality in a pre-pro vs the...
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...
Actually you bring up Outlaw and I must confess I don't know the quality of components they use for their pre-out drivers....but even the technical engineers from Denon (among other brands) have told me that they don't engineer this section very well in regards to keeping it away from noise...
Gee, Crutchfield doesn't discount 'cause they DO provide service and that adds OVERHEAD.... And I think that we all Know that the majority of the internet sales do not come from the tiny population of people who live in these remote areas and also that we would ALL flock to crutchfield as our...
but a good HT reciever can match up to a ht pre for ht purposes *********************************************** So, suddenly ,when I switch to HT MY HEARING GOES BAD? huh........... pre-outs on MOST rcvrs are NOT as good as the pre-outs on MOST pre-pros...I'm sure that (insert your model...
Too early to post a detailed review but the new bookshelf and floorstanding speakers are a "must hear" for anyone who has an unussual speaker placement need or needs great off axis response.....room placement and seating friendly!!!!! NEED A STRONG RCVR!...STILL breaking in (need about 60-80...
Even if one had lesser quality components, the design could yield better sound than the other ************************************************** **** I would take some pause with that comment, most of your better mnfgrs would say that DESIGN ,QUALITY COMPONENTS AND BUILD QUALITY all play an...
Donald , why not buy (Or borrow) a set of B&w's ,Klipsch or Mirage (which-ever you liked best) and then order both set-ups from the direct mnfgrs and set up a blind listening test in your home (sending back all the loosers) ,THIS WAY YOU CAN BE SURE!.....Reading reviews without a PERSONAL...
If what the dealer told you is the truth, then yes it's illegal. But I think it's more likely that the dealer made that up as an excuse to explain an unwillingness to negotiate price. ************************************************** ******8 Listen, all the price fixing arguements have been...
ELmO, WEIGH the 1802's better sound and more balls and front pre-outs against the1803's multi-room, better remote(though not great), component video switching(pointless for many), and newer processors..... Ithink it's becoming obvious that Denon (a line I have carried and loved for many years)...
I think you'd be crazier not to audition the low to mid-fi equipment, guessing that money is tight and your purchases will likely stay around for awhile......all the reading in the world won't explain the taste differance between a strawberry and a grape....and having never tasted grapes ,I'm...
Many people on this forum look for electronics that are mnfgrd in Japan because the malaysian and chinese goods were reportedly not made as well...with many mnfgrs begining to look for ways to cut costs, the appeal of cheap labor has been too great to resist......build quality ,I believe ,has...
BOATS cost WAAAAYYYY too much, I want boat mnfgrs to sell to everyone who wants to be a dealer so I can find some redneck to sell it to me for 30% off!....we all know there is way too much margin in those things and the guy who owns the ship building company has the NERVE To drive a Ferrari!
