My friends...I just thought I'd let you know that as of late, at other forums which will go unmentioned...
I have been attacked on my stance towards seperates over high-end receivers. Has anyone else come across these attitudes?
Most of these people are obviously trying to justify their own purchase to themselves, and boy did I start a war when I brought that up, LOL
I am stunned to see that a LOT of people out there think the internal amps inside receivers, be it bestbuy/circuit city level, or high end receivers...that these receivers can match that of a seperate amplifier.
More then a few asked what a transformer was when I told them to look inside their receiver and find it. Some didn't know the term "headroom", yet they recently bought a $4,000.00 Sunfire receiver. It boggles the mind!
Then I started to state the prices of the 950/7100 combo and the 950/755 combo, and things really got heated.
I did open one gentlemens eyes, and he's ordering a combo before Christmas..but the rest just don't want to think about seperates. I have nothing against receivers..but when someone tells me his Pioneer from BestBuy will drive a speaker as good as 7100 amp, I jus't can't help to get a tad confused and upset.
True story here too..listen to this...
One guy thinks seperates are obsurd, because you need more cables, to go from pre/pro to the amp. Hahahaha!
Well, I just thought I'd share this with you, and wondered if I'm slow to realizing that most people think seperates aren't logical.
Happy Listening!
