The best speaker you ever heard?
I know how most people feel that a commercial chap should mention his background,but even if they don't,it does not matter,especially for a 150k speakerI completely disagree. When your opinion and livelihood are inter-dependent, at no pricepoint do they become divorced from one another. Rlapporte, my post was not directed at you. Nor should anyone have to perform research in order to discover what ought to be noted in any and every post in which you are plugging a product that you sell. |
Dear Boa2, Maybe you are correct from a philosophical point of view.For me however audio is a great trip in life,where everybody is entitled to an opinion.As far as purchasing goes, I will finally hear the product before I make a deal. Recommendations from forum members are only guidelines for me.My way thinking. Sphere. |
Rlapporte, what you may have posted years ago has nothing to do with your recent post, which by your admission is of a product you sell and must be viewed as self promotional, and you did not disclose the fact until you were called on it. You also tried to divert attention from that by changing the subject and joking around. Maybe you should read the moderation guidelines and register as a dealer instead of as a private individual. I do not appreciate dealers pushing their stuff on discussion sites like this, especially when they hide the fact they are selling what they are praising. Doing so is highly disingenuous and unprofessional. |
Boa2, Sorry that I interpreted your response to be directed toward me. As I re-read it, I see that you were clearly responding to Sphere. Ronfr...wow...pretty harsh accusations and interpretations. I have absolutely no problem disclosing in my posts that I am a dealer and I will again say, to all, that I meant no deception. Ironically, Ronrf, you have given me, and my status as a dealer, much more attention than I ever intended to receive on this thread. All I wanted was to state a personal opinion. My origninal pithy response was directly related to the thread topic. Although you and some others might have been more comfortable with disclosure, I somehow imagine the possibility of being confronted for diverting the thread to my dealership. I believe that once we finalize our "dealer" account with Audiogon, I will use that log-in and the disclosure issue will be self-evident. You obviously believe my use of humor to be deflective. I think you are reaching. Perhaps we should get better acquainted. I have no intention of avoiding the use of humor. That said, I truly hope to never offend anyone. Your use of terms like "by your admission", "until you were called on it" and "..tried to divert attention" suggests that something else is going on here. I'm just not as sinister as you seem to believe. I propose that we put this to rest and not take up any more forum time/space. If there's a personal agenda or issue that I'm not aware of, please feel free to email me personally. I hope this is not perceived as an attempt to hide ... I'm just not sure how else to help put this issue to rest. Best Regards, Ron |
