NY Show Friday April 12

The amount of diamonds may appeal to someone who is outwardly superficial. You know, the showy/bling type.

But it wouldn't matter a hill of beans to me either. How they sound is all that would matter. That being said, I do like a speaker that appeals to the eye....but that's secondary.

If I told my wife about the diamonds, she would say "good, get them out of there so I can wear them".

That is a shame, they don't call it the art of the demo for nothing.

^^^^ Yes. They played crappy music when I was there.

I thought it was pretty lame that the company rep kept saying "there's 1.7 carats of pure diamond in the speaker." WHO THE HELL CARES! Play me something that I might actually listen to at home.

They were using almost $200k in equipment. It didn't sound so good and the demo left me totally cold and uninterested.

Did you really expect good sound in a square room? Could have told that before walking in.

Oh that's too bad. I tend to only buy speakers that have a size able amount of diamonds... LOL!
I had a bad experience at singer before. I was there to buy a pair of speakers . I had $10k in my pocket in cash and I was treated so rudely that I left and never went back. Of course they didn't know I had cash and I was on my way home from work so I was in dirty clothes. But still. Just because I didn't look like a spender doesn't mean you can be a jerk to me. They lost my business for life. Too bad too I'm in the city alot and would have stopped there several times since then.
I can't believe I forgot about this show!!!! I really wanted to go, and I was there Friday looking at a job in queens . I easily could have checked it out.
