Jb why don’t you take your own advice. If you can’t determine a sales pitch from a conversation maybe you should.
The only reason I mentioned that was due to Grgr4blu starting it.
My posts are hardly off topic, if it wasn’t a certain person adding fuel to the fire there would be no need to rebutt anyone. If you haven’t guessed you are following and exhibiting the same bad behavior you accuse us of.
There is a difference between a sales pitch and a presentation or a discussion.
If you are discussing cars and you are a Ford guy try illustrating a story or creating an ancedotal reference which doesn’t mention the car or the make or the model is nearly impossible especially if you are trying to make a point in a conversation with a Chevy guy.
Here is a nice ancedolatal example, as mentioned before.
You had a guy question if a 25+ years old speaker brand X was better than brand Y and for the same money as brand Y you said why don’t you try brand Z that is also the same price and brand Z is also a highly rated product that you can have brand new and you might like it more than brand Y. Wow that is both stupid and confusing.
You like Grgr4blu think everything is a sales pitch guess what many times it isn’t and as mentioned before WE HAVE NOTHING TO GAIN MOST OF THE TIME!
We can not sell Brand X into dealer Z’s territory so if we are offering advice for some people to look at certain products because they might actually like them better or be saving money.
This is how we all learn about new product and new ideas, I have learned about new brands and products because sometimes a poster mentioned something I never heard about.
Did I immediaetly cry foul because someone mentioned some other product that was not mentioned in the original post. Grow up.
This dealer bashing is just wrong, many dealers here are actually offering real advice and many have nothing to gain either.
If I could tell you how many pictures of systems I have seen here that have huge setup errors it would boggle your mind.
That is what you learn in 30+ years of doing this for a profession.
I have turned on a few speaker designers and manufacturers to a few of the setup products we routinely use and they were shocked at just how much better we got the room sounding. They were open minded enough to let me show them and demonstrate them.
It is how open we all are to learning, and by the way JB all of life is selling from your first date to your job, to how you ingriatiate yourself with others.
It is doubtful you would ever or could ever benefit from someone like me who plays with a lot of different products and tests out lots of intersting tweeks some of which make a huge difference because you in your mind would be this guy is trying to get me.
Quite frankly I don’t want to be bothered you are not worth me selling you anything.
