@gnjtack You make some good points. BUT like most folks who post on forums, I think you also jump to conclusions and read into posts things that may NOT necessarily be there! For example, i don’t believe that I stated anywhere that just because a product is priced higher it automatically means that it is better. I personally believe that price has absolutely NOTHING to do with performance.
Now, lets discuss why it is one of your dealers feels the need to post on this Alsyvox thread. ( which as i mentioned in my post, has occurred with some of your dealers on other forums as well. BTW, it is I who has been banned from WBF...they don’t like alternate opinions over there, LOL!!) ). You offer a planar speaker that is, I suppose in your mind ( and maybe in reality too...that the jury is out on), a competitor to the aforementioned Alsyvox brand. After all they are both planar designs. Alternatively, your speaker is a competitor to the Alsyvox speaker. Now, the question becomes how much of a competitor are you to each other? I seriously doubt that either of you impacts the sales of the other!!! You stated that GTAW sells a fraction of what Alsyvox does. I would suggest that this is probably incorrect, why...because neither brand has much, or any, traction here in the USA...and I very highly doubt that either brand has much more traction anywhere else either!
As to my points about matching up a sub with a planar panel, you are correct, I have NOT heard your speaker design, and as such it is possible that I would NOT hear the blend...which would be a great thing. Is it likely that this is the case, unfortunately not, as I have heard the blend on absolutely 100% of all speakers that employ a planar design and a dynamic design subwoofer...and we are talking of quite a few combos like this over the many years.
Like i pointed out, if a shoot out could be arranged, this would be a very informative thing, and would certainly be of interest to hobbyists like myself. Would it seal the deal that one design and speaker is ALWAYS going to sound better than the other, no; but it would certainly be interesting.
Here’s a suggestion...since you want to increase your visibility and ’educate’ a’philes as to your product ( a worthy cause, please don’t get me wrong!). How about setting up some dealer shoot outs between your product and the many Maggie’s that are easy to a) acquire and b) located all over the country. Maybe even start at the top, your product vs. the similarly priced Maggie 30.7. Just a thought, LOL.
