I met John Bowers when B&W hosted me in Worthing for a visit in the 70's. A wonderful man and engineer who really changed the face of hifi--and not just in England. Since his death things have spun wildly. Do a little research and you will find out that B&W has really changed since being sold, divided and whatever to wring maximum profits from a still-respectable brand.+1 on the B&W tweeters. I was ready to buy a pair until I heard them and then when I heard the Dynaudio lineup, I was converted. My brother-in-law sold B&W's and went to Maggies.EVOLUTION!
Have you changed your mind about a brand? Was it you, or them?
I've changed my mind about many things. Beer for instance. Now I can really only drink IPAs and dark beers. Lagers? Phooey. This is very different than what I drank in my 20s though.
Same for audio gear.
So let me ask all of you, are there brands or equipment you've changed your mind about, for better or worse? And if so, why? It doesn't have to be a brand, it can be a TYPE or technology.
For instance, I used to love Ti and Be tweeters. Now usually can't listen to them.
What about you?
