It seems the brand I get the most when people find out I am into music and equipment. "Oh do you have Bose?" I think to myself,Serioulsy? Bose!! I find it very hard to explain to them that, Bose, isn't even a good place to start. But not to appear arrogant or instulting to them as they may own Bose, I just smile and say, no. No Bose, I bought some other speakers and they sound real nice except they play music real good...., the other brand I get is Denon, which is in my opinion much higher on the audio-chain than Bose. No reason to insult people, just agree and move on. As a side note about Amar Bose, when he died earlier this year, I thought it would be nice to give a eulogy and say "Let's all rise and face the back of the church and take a moment to reflect...."
What brand is most recognized by non-audiophiles?
Yesterday at church the pastor used audiophiles in an example and mentioned that he probably shouldn't use the example without knowing the current best equipment. When he asked the congregation there were several quick responses that said Bose. I shook my head.
What audiophiles brands would be most recognizable to the masses these days? I think of Krell when I think of an audiophile brand, but don't know how many blank looks I would get out of non-audiophiles. Maybe B&W?
