You sound like the incredibly naive customers we used to sell to. If a speaker have tons of flatulent bass and sizzly highs, it was an easy sell, with only the following "specs" required to close the deal.Typical Customer Dimwit: "How many watts does that speaker have?"
Cynical Salesman: "At least 250.
TCD: "250? Are you sure?"
CS: "Sir, the Quadraflex 1015XlZ are rated for at least 250 watts, IHF tone burst method."
Wife of TCD "Is is safe to have around children? We have 3."
CS {eyeing the hot, curvy wife}: "What was your name? Mildred? Well, Milly, IHF means it's safe for home use. It can handle those watts, while a lower powered speaker might catch fire. It happens. This one is child safe."
TCD: "What about response? How's that harmonic response?"
CS: "May I call you Tommy? Tommy, these things are good from
20 to 20. That's twenty-twenty. IHF approved!"
TCD: "Hmm...I don't know. What about the crossover? Is it Phase Linear?"
CS: "Tommy, these babies are linear out to at least 24db!! This company's engineers are up for an Industrial Nobel Prize for this design, because of aerospace applications I think. They INVENTED a wide dispersion, 6 db per octave Butterworth Bessel transfer function, with a twin pole filter and an aperiodic acoustically corrected time compensated group delay. It's the best you can get. Heck, you heard it. It ROCKS! Fleetwood Muc was right here in the room with us!!"
TCD: "And they're on sale?"
CS: "Yep. Half price, ends today."
TCD, glancing at wife: "OK. Those are some great specs. We'll take 'em."
CS, oogling wife: "Will that be cash or charge. Oh, and I'll need your phone number and your husband's work hours."
