    Does street cred or lack thereof affect your ability to sell $42K speakers? Is your target market the surround sound crowd or are you selling into the 2 channel stereo crowd that you have no shortage of disparaging remarks for?

    No idea, maybe you could start a poll? I sell as fast as I can make, outside my full time job. So there's that.

    My speakers are too dumb to know whether they will be placed in 2 or more channels systems. They just transduce electricity to sound. My target market is whoever emails or calls next for some speakers.
    You ever try happiness, laughter etc?

    AJ I didn’t know the speaker building was your side hustle. What is the daytime gig if I may ask?

    Your statement is meaningless without proper context. How many pairs of any of your speakers can you make in a month outside of your full time job? Are you building the cabinets or do you have them made for you? How many pairs of speakers do you average selling every month?

    So now you are Mr. Mirth? I'm happily retired and laugh all the time. I don't run a one-man crusade to denigrate two channel audio on an audio forum dedicated to two channel audio. I believe your favorite word you use to describe/call people who really enjoy 2 channel audio is "Luddites."

    So where are you displaying all your happiness and laughter Mr. Mirth? I think your idea of happiness and laughter comes from denigrating 2 channel audiophiles.

    // Well.....a good friend with a nice system (Tannoy Westminster, Acoustic Signature Montana, Canary Amps, etc) bought a Topping preamp as a back up and prefered it over his Audio Research Ref 6 preamp. I couldn't believe it when he actually sold the Ref 6. //

    Had to be a money thing, but he just did not want to admit it.
