Why Don't More People Love Audio?

Frank - Very few people ever get to the point of finding audio complicated because they lack the motivation to find audio.

I don't know if I can type slowly enough for all of you obstinate audio freaks to get it but the harsh reality is this:

We are oddballs - eccentrics - what we find irresistible is of no interest whatsoever to the vast majority of our fellow citizens. Just accept that. There is no magic solution to this non-problem.

To be totally argumentative, Ikea is RTA which is at the other end of the sofa from plug in and play. Also modern luxury cars require fairly detailed instruction before you can safely operate them and you cannot maintain them without dealer assistance.

Onhwy61 - You are not being argumentative but rather setting the record straight. If this, or any discussion, is to be productive and rewarding it needs to be restricted to factual arguments, reliable data, and responsible assertions. When someone veers off course in any of those areas, it is incumbent upon the likes of you to introduce corrections. Thanks for keeping things honest. And Merry Christmas.

I was picking nits. I just thought his examples were really bad. Put five luxury cars in a lineup and unless you're a valet at a boutique hotel you won't be able to start them three of them without being shown how. Setting the heat control on the vibrating rear head rest also is as intuitive as it could be in some models.

Enjoy!

Okay guys, I'm still feeling Christmasy so I won't let you rattle me for the moment ... :-) I'll have another go at explaining my (to me, perfectly valid) examples, down the track ...

So, cheers and Merry Xmas from me,
Frank
