I doubt you will find any speaker company that uses the quality parts and man hours on a speaker then vapor sound..you can the best or almost best he offers for that money!!! He will even add parts depending upon the sound you desire. I know, as im prob gonna go buy the stiff breeze and have parts added for an extra sound.
vapor sound..call them speak to ryan. He puts 3 times the parts in a speaker then anybody else
Vapor is a custom speaker shop, when you discuss your tastes for music and sound...ryan and pete will make suggestions for upgrades. Vapor, without a doubt, offers sensational speaker for the money. For example, I purchased the lsa statement 1's and terry london did a very nice review of them. that is, until Terry London reviewed the stiff breeze and he pretty much said in his review that Stiff Breeze trumped the lsa's easily.
LOL..genius postings I see, you guys should worry about other things then if Vapor is posting or not..idiotic. I'd love to meet you girls are Expona...
Vapor might have some cosmetic issues, every company mentioned has some issues. We are in this for great sound, one thing does stand out. The amount of money spent on speakers at Vapor per the cost is amazing for the consumer. i just did some work and found out there is one speaker company who's mark up is close to 70 percent. That means you are paying 5k for a speaker that cost the retailer 2k. If we think that these markups is giving us good value, then so be it. I'm sure you can find other companies similiar. But audiophiles who have been to the shows have said that Vapor blew them away with the performance. If you are looking for a speaker that has a great finish and such, maybe you should buy furniture or a painting. If I went for Vapor, i'd go with a great speaker in a very plain finish and have them to listen to and not for the so called nice finish. I'll use this anology, ou can go get your brakes done and a tuneup for your car at the dealer and spend alot or go to a local person and spend less then half. If you want to buy into the bs that is out there and pay the huge markups, then so be it. I'd rather pay my money for excellent sound and value. I purchased the LSA statements and they are good, but the vapor stiff breeze blew it away. I won't do the speakers from a big company again.
News flash to the brilliant ones who don't get it, do you know the markup from dealer to retailer is sometimes 70 percent..so you audophiles who want to spend 10k on a speaker that cost the retailer 4-5k..go right ahead!!! Or, look for a conmpany that doesn't have those margins and actually puts more into the speakers then that!!!!!
which company uses the best parts, tweeters and drivers and capacitors..makes there sound so fullfilling on many fronts?? Wilson..nah..u fill in da blanks
It's 50 percent on Nordast cables and 75 percent on Demo cables. Still a 3k pair os speaker cables that cost 1500 is very high!! Speaker cost 10k and dealer gets it for 5k or so. That is a huge markup.
