people know i am i hifi buff and when they ask me, i am honest. i guided the to make what they have sound its best but i wont lie to them if its crap. even a crappy system can be made to sound better with some setup tips.speaker placement, speakers off the floor, bass and treble adjustments for most natural sound, advice to not play the system into distortion levels.
these interim measures will give them time to realize whether its worth going for better equipment. once they hear better sound, they usually start wanting more.
a friend at work came to me bragging that he bought bose speakers. i asked why he didnt consult me first as he knew i was int sound. we went and heard some real speakers and he relalized his mistake and returned the bose for polks. this was preceded by a polk demo at cc set up by me with the hotel california dvd as demo.
he was NOT insulted.
