General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

The masses care about sound quality, but they have a different vocabulary.

They may not understand equipment can sound realistic but they still want it to sound good. When I sold mini-systems and boom boxes at the Good Guys, even people spending $200 for equipment want the best sound they can get.

They want to know "does it pop" - that means does it have good Impact. That one was pretty universal, I can't remember others but all wanted good bass, high percussion that zings and clear vocals. Not being audiophiles they didn't know the audiophile terms they just wanted the best sound they could afford with their limited funds.

What some people here don't get is most working people make just pennies over minimum wage especially if they are in the service industry where most the new jobs are. Both parents work and with rent, food, clothes, health insurance, etc. not much money is left over for goodies especially if they have kids.

Come up with a $200 high-end system and I can guarantee most of the masses would buy it.
