I'm a consumer. Put it in your showroom and if it sounds better than what I've got and it's cheaper, it's simple - I'll buy it.If it's really cheap, then all the big box stores can carry this amazing technology.
IMO, up 'til now, NEW TECHNOLOGY = ear bleeding shit! (I need to get out more.) 9 times out of 10 the salesman asks me "doesn't that sound great?", me:" . . aahh, . . . well, no."
Talk's cheap. So build it. .... They will come!
Maybe some high-tech guys are just pissed off because their best shot at it doesn't sound as good as the 60 or 70 year old stuff.
It's all about the sound.
