Why would you tell half a story? You can mention the speaker brand, I’m sure nobody will take away your birthday.
Shortest Product Demo Ever: Had to Hit the Eject Button and Get the #*@% Out of There?
I recall in the early 80’s an employee of mine was really hot on a speaker line and insisted that I stop by their demo room at an audio show (I’m thinking Conrad Hilton in Chicago?)
I, literally, made it 1 1/2 meters into the room and had to do a full about face and get out of there. The sound was definitely NOT music to my ears.
Later, I finally gave in and reluctantly agreed to bring in the speaker line. The speakers got better over time, as well as the other stuff sending music to them. I developed a fond relationship with the company over many decades, and do performance upgrades on them yet today.

@noromance A buddy eons ago inquired as to what/why I was attracted to my future spouse....."....y'kno, you could do better...:' Gave him an earful, but kept it short... I like her 'cause she listens as much as she talks. She isn't suggesting what I could do for her, but what we could do together. She was and still is intelligent, lots of shared interests (including 'well-presented music'). Learned quickly how to remove an LP from its' sleeve, give it a 'wobble' w/out a drop, place and destat it. and how to hand-cue...and reverse that at the end. Liked that I had a cat, my studio at the time was neat, and my bed was made. Cooked better than I with more variety ( has only blown 3 meals in ourt time,, one We try to fight fair; but not go to bed mad. Don't call or come by Sunday mornings....we have our own version of 'church'. ;) I could have done worse. *s* My old buddy is still single. |
