Hello Chris,I'm glad you don't think I'm "nasty"! :-)
I also don't feel threatened by any of your postings. I find your habit of misquoting me annoying (this is at least the third time), and I don't know why you persist, as you keep misrepresenting my position.
I never said Ayre "couldn't build a 'universal' player for less than $15k to $20k". What I actually said was, "The retail price of a player that could play *all* of the new formats (including multi-channel) at an appropriate performance level would probably be in the range of $15,000 to $20,000." These are two very different statements.
In my subsequent postings I amplified upon the caveats contained in my original posting, particularly the parts about "*all* of the new formats" and "an appropriate performance level".
I would appreciate it if you didn't misquote me. I would also appreciate it if you didn't imply that I (or Ayre) were "rip-offs", or engaged in price "gouging", although I suppose that everyone is entitled to their opinion. However, when the poster's opinion is bolstered by incorrect quotations, I find that annoying.
Best regards,
Charles Hansen
