Synergistic calls out Audioholics

dletch2 - "is it reasonable to contact these people?" or "trying to divert business your way" is not the legal standard or issue here. This is about INTENT to interfere with a business relationship/contract. SR has business relationships/contracts with its dealers and distributors. 

I am going to guess you are not a lawyer?

There are activist groups, and then there are activist groups. To collectively join and agree to refuse to buy a certain product is one thing.
It's in the realm of a boycott.

To actively go beyond those bounds by harassing, intimidating, showing up in a companies lobby, or at the door of a medical provider, or storming the capitol of a state or country, is not being an activist group.

I do believe the law does not differentiate between physically being at one's doorstep and using other nefarious means to harm a business. 

All the best,

dletch2 - You guess wrong on me not being a lawyer. Going back to our discussion: Intentional torts have different damages than say a tort based on negligence. I’m sure Ted has claimed injunctive relief and punitive damages. It was really foolish for Gene to contact dealers and distributors that Ted is in contract with - like I said an hour ago that's when Gene stepped over the line.

You are talking about consumer advocacy. I am talking about groups that target one company to influence them to end their business relationship with another company. It happens all the time. We read about it almost daily.  In those cases, the loss of business is real and very easily measured, yet legal ramifications are rare.

I dont know, In my system cables dont make much of a difference. last 20 years with 10k usd spent in cables … my experience has been no to some sound difference at most. In my very early years I saw a big change going from 18/22 gauge to 12/10 gauge. My current two channel system is paradigm signature s8 v1 + parasound jc monoblocks + parasound jc2. I use audioquest type 9, and kimber 12vs (cable length is Left 15 feet, Right 8 feet) and the sound difference is extremely minimal, not a game changer in anyway. I see more value in room treatment, speaker positioning to get better sound than investing in cables. I see many pictures in audio forms, and here where people place tower speakers 6 inches from the back wall, 10 inches from the side walls, and 5 feet apart...and expect them to sound good...I dont understand it. At the end of the day everyone experiences sound differently, so I can only speak for myself and my system. My second system is a 2.1 setup composed of kef ls50 meta, parasound hint 2.1, M&K v12 subwoofer, with bluejeans 10 gauge cables - and that system sounds phenomenal - not the most high-end system but pretty good for price, and can be considered endgame for many people.
