I mean that makes no sense......I mean a brand name is simply that...a brand name...Does the brand name tell you that what your ears are hearing is quality ??? Does the brand name tell you that after 5 years a product will still with stand on the road use (ask anyone that had a Korg triton extreme about how sturdy the casing is and thats a pro keyboard).
At least be willing to accept that the principal that you get what you pay for is simply a principal and not a rule....
Its a principle that cost me a lot of money to learn. I trust it now.
the SPECS tuned me off. 30 Hz response on what i thought was a 10" driver was bad enough but to find it listed for an 8" driver.....Thats all I needed to see. Sorry. Specs SHOULD mean somthing. Peak Power means jack. I pass on anything advertised using PP watts too without hearing them.
In some areas Brand still means somthing. That said I LOVE my Vizio TV....But I would not have bought them if I had not seen them on another opinion. I did buy a Panasonic Plasma though based on opinion and reputation.
I have owned Mackie product and yes it is rock solid and trust worthy as are Bose and other premium branded goods,
