So many surface dwellers, lol. Some people like to be told what to do and some become a sponge and absorb information, do their research and buy what they like. Education is key as well as reading is fundamental. Some folks want the easy road and some don’t mind doing the research along with getting some insight from dealers. At the end of the day, don’t get upset when a HiFi store tells you that you are an idiot for not buying what they are telling you to buy, lol. At the end of the day, is that what you want in life especially if they haven’t even been to your home? What if a car dealership told you the same thing (you came to buy a Ford Raptor but he sold you a Ford F-250 Diesel. Would you comply just like that in the audio world? Your choice is what you and only you will have to live with. Don’t get confused with not listening to what they have to say. They may or may not have points that are valid. Now if you came to my home, examined the future listing room and understood what I’m looking for in sound as well as taste, I’m even more open to suggestions as well as taking valid points to improve my systems. For me, that’s the kind of advice I would be more open to. Obviously, this is not my first rodeo and I’ve been to over 200+ Audio stores in the world. I’m truly blessed. Take that for what it’s worth and enjoy the music.
