i take offense at natalie's remarks towards Monitor Audio.
that company started with zero in this country and with
a few pairs of decent sounding and well crafted boxes.
the mega-giant marketing monster, the well oiled distribution machine, the political money merchants bribing
publishing houses, the madison ave. art dept., dealer support and graft division you allude to are all based in
atlanta. they have a collective name however. they are
called David Soloman. yup. one guy. also answers the phones designs product, personally follows customer issues until resolved along with changing the sparkletts bottle. i understand that he has be given a vice presidency for the parent corp. and global responsibilties. a tip of the hat to him! on top of all this, he is a passionate audiophile
who loves the biz and is dedicated to keeping out the non
music loving corporate carnivores and the "bottom line"
mentality. he knows that hifi is one of the only industries
still guided by it's customers.(except the software end).
mid-fi and hi-fi exist only because of companies such as Monitor Audio (no name dropping for fear of overlooking one)
two global corporations own the majority of u.s. hifi brands
and thankfully they are still chaired by old school audio people. with the efforts independents like Monitor and
the corporate allies us little consumers have, your choices of gear are not limited to pioneer receivers and jbl's.
obviously, i've met Mr.Soloman (twice,actually)and we own some of his product.
think what you will of Monitor speakers,Natalie,that is part of what we share on this forum. But the vacuous statements that far exceed your qualifications and
accuastions of improper,immoral or illeagel actives directed
at parties or individuals that you know nothing about will bite you every time. if not for those you slight, there would be no forum as this for you to hate everything on.
