How many stereo lovers have you created?


Can you remember specific individuals who purchased decent quality stereos after hearing yours? I can safely claim 5. All of these were spawned in high school when I had a pair of Magneplanar MG-I improved speakers powered by a Denon integrated amp. Two bought Magnepans and the others box speakers. One of the Magnepan buyers was a female who purchased a pair despite having a limited budget for college. One of the five took up the hobby in a big way and has a great system. He and I are best friends and can spend hours talking about audio. I can recall being smitten with the audio bug listening to my brother in laws Sony system when I was 10. I had my first system (Pioneer and EPI) when I was 13. I suspect many of you can claim more audio offspring than I.

At least 3 so far and a few HT lovers. One of them was not going to spend more than $2K but by the time he loves his system, ended up spending around 8K.
Sadly, none, in my 25+ years in this hobby. All my friends and family just think I'm a psycho. I've met stereo lovers though this hobby, but, I haven't 'created' any. Maybe I'm just a bad salesman..........or maybe....I am a psycho...........
I spent 32 years at General Motors, we had a population of about 15,000 people at one time..kinda like a small city. In those 32 years I helped more people learn about and enjoy this hobby of ours than I could ever remember. Many hours and lots of fun!!!
