Re: Who's the snobbiest high end dealer?

Greetings MGH;

Excellent question/comments in regards to dealers biasing theyre own gear as well as the many inmates comments on snobbery, it surely exists out theyre, based on your overwelming feedback.

What a shame, Dealers should be honest and forthright with REAL ENTHUSIASM for the hobby, and the gear that define it. More in todays market than ever before! In my experiance I havent faced the snobbery aspect as yet, knock on wood. But the bashing of competitors products is something Ive experianced firsthand and nothing can send up "red flags" faster than this self-serving attitude. So distasteful and painfully obvious.

This took place somewhere { prefer to refrain from naming } I purchased some equipment from in the past and as a result has more than likely lost any future buisness from me or friendly referrals as well, just based on this single selfish act. However they still offer great selection and service with very knowledgeable salesman yet even though this was an isolated event the overall feeling I came away with for this brick and mortar was one of no integrity and a general lack of confidence. Up untill then I had shopped theyre with confidence and purchased often.

The piece of equipment they took a shot at I KNOW is one of high pedigree, and held in high regards by many and I felt they were trying to twist my perception. Kudos to them!!!!

On a side note, I read further down in this thread and noted you had the Mirage M1 at one time, can I trouble you to share your impressions of these fine speakers of yesteryear, both good or bad. I love my Mirage OM6s.


BEST...
