tigerwoodKhorns Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Sweet. I wonder if it has an input for one of those $3000 Lexicon Blue Ray players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picky Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 It seems that those prices listed in the Bose system article are similar to what Pioneer Elite was charging for plasma displays when they exited the display business. The difference here is that the Pioneer Elite displays were the best in the business, while there's currently no performance benchmark established on where the Bose-version stands. With so many other, great displays out there at more reasonable price points, I seriously doubt Bose will have much success at those prices, unless they are permeating the air in their salon stores with hallucinogens in order to dupe customers in to buying this crap.

Audible Nectar Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 To think of what I could do and have done with $5500 on this forum[] And that's after 90 Grateful Dead and 55 Phish concerts. If hallucinogens made people buy Bose they would be made legal. I chalk up the success of Bose to people like Edward Bernays and Walt Lippman, who mastered the art of selling just about everything - including war. If you can sell war, you can sell just about anything. Bernays wrote a book about it - called PROPAGANDA, and having a thorough understanding of it will give you insight into how outfits like Bose exist and thrive. They do so in a sea of disinformation. It's most certainly NOT on any factual basis..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elitedemo Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 The pioneer elites at least were leading the charge, I cant believe how much people sell them for on 2nd hand especially now that the new displays have come so far. It simply created a strong brand loyalty and since they sold their technology to panasonic I'd gladly pay half as much for new Both lexicon and the bose stories are news to me, not that I would buy either A foole & his money, be soone at debate: which after with sorow, repents him to late.

mark1101 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Maybe Lexicon used a $2500 power cord. They never showed the cord in the review. Let's not be too critical now.[+o(] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
