Dealers hijacking the discussions

@inna ,

I'm not sure why you feel the need to be so inflammatory in your response, especially considering that I'm not even one of the dealers under fire here (I don't post much on these forums, to sell or otherwise - too busy). I was simply trying to point out that most dealers are just honest people trying to earn a living and don't deserve the level of hostility that is sometimes directed towards them, as you have just demonstrated.

That being said, I'm going to politely bow out of the conversation now since there's clearly nothing that I can say without being senselessly berated for it. I hope that whoever among us dealers have prompted this kind of response from the community will learn from this and take a softer approach with their dealings going forward. Just know that most of us are not part of that problem, and can be great resources for you guys when needed. 

Best wishes,

I wouldn’t buy from the dealers that troll threads. Why would anyone support dealers that have a bias towards only what they sell? Audiosharks.org forum was started by and pretty much run by a dealer in my town. He rarely mentions products he sells.

Dealers that troll this forum and show their bias repeatedly towards only products they sell should sell used cars instead. Nobody likes a troll!

Sav,I wouldnt worry about him,his post are normally nonsense, lol

Audiotroy:
I am not going to debate with you about the thrust of the OP's inquiry which anyone can view and judge your conduct therein. Nor will I repeat what I said above that you also misread.
Last, I am not one who feels that there are good dealers who are my friends vs bad dealers here on Audiogon. You can look at my history. I have never said a word in any forum to anyone in the audio trade (except words of occasional thanks and agreement with manufacturers, manufacturer reps, dealers, audio magazine writers and others) except for the ever speaking, ever selling Audiotroy of Audio Doctor who sells from his home the best gear in the world and who knows more than the other dealers in the area (who, unlike him are only out to make a buck) about all things audio and who will take or create any opportunity to push the worlds greatest speakers, the only speakers to ever garner praise from audio critics,--the mighty beryllium (best substance for drivers ever made bar none) Paradigm Personas even when no one is asking or wants to hear.

Svery the entire audioshark forum is all about products he sells in almost every forum post, you got to be kidding, the reason he started Audioshark, look at his products and look at the forum posts you will see plenty of mentions you will also see plenty of news posts conveniently about his products. 

As per Gpgr4blu, you take everything I have ever said way out of proportion. As per the reputation of many New York dealers read some of the many posts written about such subjects on these forums, and I have witnessed many of these same experiences that customers have.

The fact that "you are freinds with many of these dealers"  and are in no way our friend, makes you incredibily biased and therefore hardly an honest mirror to our bad in your mind behavior. 

Many of today's best loudspeakers Magico, Rockport, Focal, B&W, all use Beryillium drivers or diamond coated Beryillium drivers, so your logic is hardly unbiased. 

I don't know about you but Magico, Rockport, Focal, and B&W are all very highly rated companies whose products are all considered state of the art what you like has to do with your tastes as well as your bias.

I think if you ask most of the people here they would agree that with any of those forementoned products setup is crucial. 

Your lack of objectivity and negativity driected to us is unconcionable and a complete turn off to many of the people that find our posts to be helpful.

And again, what is your professional background again?
