artto Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Anyone seen that Acura commercial with the guy dressed in black sitting next to the tube amp? Initially, he just kinda sat there. In the current version he actually says a few things - on several different takes. On one he says "It's a tube amp, do you know how rare these things are? And then says "These tubes have real gas" It's a vacuum dude. "vacuum tube" LMAO. Lookout. They're getting ready to blow! That's one reason I prefer "valve". It better describes what it does.

joshnich Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Yes I saw that ad last night. The ad positions acura as a car for people who want real benefits rather than airy fairy stuff - like the tube amp. The guy with amp says something like "with this you can play sound that only a dog can hear". josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Check out the new one. Now it seems they are also going after the control freak market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 They make some really ugly cars. They all look like they have a snaggle tooth. Hate the current grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel too offended being elbow deep in vacuum tubes. I wasn't planning on buying an Acura any time soon anyway... [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunburnwilly Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 The new add states that the amp reproduces frequencies that only dogs can hear , no need for speakers I guess . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible Nectar Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 My McIntosh MC30's are in excess of 50 years old. My MX110 is over 40 years old. My Klipsch Cornwalls are all 34 years old or older. My Belle Klipsch are 34 years old. The tubes I put in my gears are mostly in excess of 45 years old. Now, let's see how long that Acura lasts.
