Did you know that Audiogon...

now has a "sister" site named Videogon ? I didn't until a few minutes ago and thought that others might want to be made aware also.

I recently listed an HT pre / pro for sale on Agon and was given the option of having it appear on Videogon. Thinking that more exposure was better, i went for it. As it turns out, my ad appeared on Videogon but did not show up on Agon. That has me a bit confused, so i've emailed the "powers that be" to help me understand what's going on here.

As a side note, it appears that our Agon accounts will become "joint accounts" and merged with Videogon, but our member feedback regarding transactions will remain separate between the two forums / websites. While i don't really understand that, i included a question / suggestion about that also in my email to Agon.

Has anybody else checked out "Vgon" yet and / or have any comments about it ? How long has that site been up and running ? Will all the items that fall under "HT" gear now be shifted over to that site rather than appear here on Agon ? Sean

Uh-Oh -- it's a sad day for audio! Even A-gon has gone the HT route in search of more capital. Can you say, "larger market share". Oh well, greed makes the world go 'round...

But on the plus side, maybe it will get the HT-related discussions off this site. :)

Yes Charles, you, and folks like you are the reason why a very high percentage of formerly audio-only salons are now forced to carry home theater equipment just to survive in the marketplace.

I think there's a place for both, and I have a dedicated home theater system in addition to my audio-only system. But when I walk into audio shops that I used to frequent in the past, and see that the majority of their inventory is now dedicated to home theater, well, I have to admit it's just a little depressing...
