oldtimer Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 At least you have a ditch. Oh, how we longed for the luxury of a ditch. Tell kids that nowadays, and they don't even believe you.... 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max2 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I dont see how people own a new set of any home speakers these days. I have been buying only second or third hand since the mid 80's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twk123 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I have watched a few youtube videos on these setups and literally every single room had horrible rooms with not even basic sound treatment or positioning. One guy even had these little wooden "room boundary pucks" on poles which were supposed to resonate and block the sound from reflecting off the wall somehow.

Ok lets start a company, want to do alot of work building many or price them to only need to sell a few a year? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK Thom Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 There is no way on G-d’s green earth these products are worth that kind of money. My nose nearly bleeds thinking of the markups involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to the German mark becoming much stronger, it became necessary to raise the prices of the bikes, which caused some concern for the marketing guys. One of the brighter ones got a really good idea: instead of raising the prices a bit, and risk losing some middle-class customers, let’s raise the prices a lot, and start selling to new rich upper-class customers. It worked! BMW went from being a slightly pricey middle-market bike to a fairly priced premium bike. Advertisements reflected the brand’s new top quality image, amd sales increased. I’m speculating here, but I think used bike prices went up, too, but stayed in reach for the former new-BMW buyers, and maybe kept some old bikes on the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magico Ultimates have had a big price drop, to only $354,000! The last time I read about them was in an Absolute Sound review, when they cost $600,000, and there was only one or two pairs, with no assurance that they’d continue to be available. The reviewer thought they sounded great, beyond anything he’d previously heard, so they’re on my win-a-big-lottery-prize purchase list. For my win-a-medium-size-lottery-prize purchase list, the 7-Jubilee surround system is still at the top. What, have none of you guys fantasized about owning some of the amazing speakers on the list? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Let's think about that..... should we take the luxury round-the-world cruise or place a down payment on the speaker wire from those guys....... and not a one of those amps comes with a vijayjay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
