jzoz01 Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 One of my customers came in today looking to replace his existing stereo speakers with something smaller due to his room size and upgrade to 5.1. He is set on a Bose Lifestyle system. Saddly though, he has Heresey IIs right now, bought new from us in 1986 I think. Good news is I think I'm gonna be able to snag these for cheap. I'm gonna try to talk him into keeping them and just adding some refrence bookshelves as rears, but if he's really set on unloading them I think I can find them a good home.

jt1stcav Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 A fool and his Klipsch are soon parted. If he can't appreciate what he has, then he has no business owning them. Sell him the Bose and snag his Heresys for yourself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Yeah first for me... I'v heard of peeps going from bose to Klipsch but never the other way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 If he wants small, then he should buy ProMedia 5.1s. He obviously has no loyalties to Klipsch, that's for sure. Schmuck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwinr Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 You won't be able to change his mind. I've had friends that have developed a Bose mindset. No amount of persuading, cajoling or outright abuse will work. Just go along with them and grab them Heresys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If cute and small is so critical, i don't know why sooo many Blo$e shoppers overlook the ProMedia. Similar WAF with but with some substance to back it up. go figure...

Colin Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Bet he has a harsch sounding reciver, otherwise he would never wnat to give the music... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markmaple Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 I think the ProMedia are usually sold in the computer speaker area and not seen by many consumers as a alternative to the Bose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markmaple Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 jzoz01, Do you sell the Reference Cinema series? I heard those at the Klipsch get-together this past summer. I was quite impressed and they certainly are more the size that your customer seems to be looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 well, look at it this way.... at least your not getting the bose, and if he wants the lifestyle system sell him the life stylesystem, its probably a lot more margin anyways and better yet you can get hi herseys..... also you don't want to loose a customer possibly i know people by me have no loyalties whats so ever to their local electronic retailers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzoz01 Posted December 9, 2004 Author Share Posted December 9, 2004 I already tried to get him into rb15s and he didn't really go for it. Has a sony reciever too by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooting_monkey Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Maybe you can convince him to get some RSX? Maybe some Quintets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbajner Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 sell him the Bose, taking the Klipsch in to re-sell to us for a great price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
