So... Is Monster Out Of Business?

They only have a bad reputation with non-audiophiles. People who think Shatki stones can alter the musical Feng Shui in their room think they're the best...or was that Audioquest Diamond???

Much in the same way that car enthusiasts regarded the Fiero as a really poor example of a mid engine sports car.

It didn't stop some people from adding racing stripes, iridescent paint and thinking they were great.

This is why taste and preference mean so very little when compared to measures of performance..

Their brand and patents (and Lawyers) could be picked up by Bose!

I thought Monster was just another marketing division of Bose

But, but, but, it had the dah, dah DAHHHHH- Iron Duke engine!

I worked with a guy who bought a Fiero and another friend had a Mazda RX-7. The guy with the Fiero called the RX-7 a 'Plastic Porsche'. He didn't know the RX had a metal body, or that his Fiero didn't.

The Fiero moved like a stove, the RX-7 hauled ass after the original engine & transmission were replaced with the 1.3L rotary, lightweight flywheel added, suspension lowered/re-sprung and spoiler & air dam installed.

WRT stripes, etc- I heard a comment about cars that probably came from the '50s- "If it don't go, chrome it".

OK. You may be correct.

This is depressing. I was looking forward to seeing ppl buy micro satellite speakers and connecting them to a proprietary box with 0-gauge cables cold drawn from the metal of a dying star.

 

[mtrycrafts]

.. cold drawn from the metal of a dying star.

Now that is an interesting process, drawing in the process of dying. Is it patented yet?

Nope. The patent office turned it down. It seems they didn't understand the gravity of our innovative process.

 

[GrimSurfer]

Boy, did they get heat from our Legal Department!
