In Reply to: This is one of the oldest and most common speaker myths. posted by Ralph on April 10, 2015 at 08:56:41:
One of the first questions we asked customers was "What Kind of music do you like?" It was not necessarily a ploy to move them into a Advent, JBL or Bose. It was a conversation starter. Here is a typical sales conversation.
Customer "I'm looking for a new set of speakers"
Sales Guy "Great, What are you using now?"
C: Oh, I'm kind of embarrassed, it the Zenith Allegro system my folks got me for my 15th birthday.
SG: I see what you mean, Don't worry. Hey, What kind of music do you like?
C: All kinds, I guess, Foghat, Kansas, Elton John.
SG: Excellent, Been to any concert lately?
C: I took my girl friend to see Barry Manilow for her birthday. It was pretty cool.
SG: I bet. Let's go look as some speakers. You can use them with the Zenith - but maybe we can talk about a receiver and turntable later. The loudspeakers are the most important thing though, have you got a budget?
C: I can't spend too much, maybe $300, I'm trying to save up for a car, too.
SG: (As I enter the Bose Demo room) Have you Ever heard of Bose loudspeakers?
Epilog:
The guy walks out with Bose 301 and Receiver (JVC JR-200?) for $425+ Tax. Comes back 4 months later for a Garard zero tracking error turntable after selling the Allegro to his ex girlfriend.
