Im saying he can "get by" on them because they ARE good speakers and have many reviews proving so.
And, nobody said they weren't.
I know that everyone has different ears and SQ is subjective but when a lot of people like a certain product more than likely others will too.
And, your point is?
Alot of people on this board dislike products based on who carries them.
You do hold the general population of this board in low regard, don't you? A lot of the effort here is spent overcoming that stigma and accepting products for what they are, not where they are sold. Infinity was well regarded and they
were sold by CC, weren't they? Polk and BA are sold by them and I don't see anyone (including me) dissing them, do you? Best Buy sold Athena and people here spoke highly of them, didn't they?
Look, I wanted maggies because I fell in love with their signature sound and if I "settled" for any else to save a few bucks, I would have quickly realized my mistake.
Im sure if Axiom was carried by CC alot of people would not look at them the way they do now.
Not if they frequented this board and were apprised of the truth. Only those ignorant of the facts espoused here would hold to that myopic view. And, keep in mind we're talking in context of this board, not the wide world populated by Joe Sixpack and wannabees with pretentions of knowing this stuff.
