| list of speakers @lanx0003 It's reassuring that you didn't see a lot of deviations. I found a site, with the help of Erin's Audio Corner:spinorama.org - with a lot of models! And you overestimate what I know :) But I am using my ignorance as a strength, I know... | |
| list of speakers thanks @lanx0003 ! I spent 100s of hours looking up and entering this data, and now I was told frequency range published by the manufacturers can be unreliable/can't be trusted. It's a wild ride, but fun. | |
| shy about prices It sounds like we all had different experiences. @curiousjim last time I bought a car, I ended up on the ER. I wish I were joking. I worked myself up so much I had an panic attack. Now I prefer to live near public transportation | |
| shy about prices @benanders yes, it makes sense. I guess it’s a unique business in several aspects. | |
| shy about prices @arion thank Mike, I sent you an email.... | |
| shy about prices @mlsstl point taken, that's what I often ended up doing. But is that "normal"? | |
| shy about prices @mahgister well, I disagree, based on my attempt to lookup 500 or so speakers. | |
| shy about prices @thecarpathian got it! :) They probably know that a price would just confuse me.... | |
| shy about prices @mahgister I know nothing about marketing. But I know that as a consumer, I prefer to know the price before learning too much about a product. | |
| shy about prices @curiousjim still, at some point, the prices should be revealed :) It’s not LIKE car sales, right? | |
| shy about prices @yogiboy yes, my wording may have been confusing, I am OK with dealer pricelists too, but they are just as hard to find. Many times it's a pdf from Turkey or Luxemburg from 2012. | |
| Assistance in selecting new speakers… here is a better list, sorry for my previous "speaker salad" https://speakerchoices.com/ | |
| list of speakers @shtinkydog yes! The preamp sounds fabulous!!! | |
| Selling here on Audiogon @freediver I have not seen the shipping costs going up. I am shipping mid-size components (~25 lbs) often for under $25 in the lower 48 with UPS. | |
| list of speakers I tried to add the companies first that some of you suggested. I am not adding anything that doesn't have any data, and I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to find the company's founding date and headquarters/factory city for a few of them... |
