In Reply to: Who's the snobbiest high end dealer? posted by MGH on April 23, 2007 at 19:30:55:
And it is actually quite a laugh that I never realized it the first 20 times around.There are essentially 5 main dealers in Vancouver and Victoria British Columbia that I have dealt with. The least snobby of the lot is Soundhounds in Victoria although even some of their staff won't shy away from telling you what they think. Although this kind of snobbery is what they believe not just to sell you something - which is hard to explain unless one goes there and talks to them.
The two big ones in Vancouver - well one is relatively small and carries just a couple of speaker brands and they basically have to hard sell what they carry downing everything. They were telling me how great their speakers were and when I mentioned mine the guy was saying I should have bought his brand (that rhymes with BMW. Of course Soundhounds also carries those speakers and the only shock is that the Vancouver dealer is not tone deaf to carry those things. But hey I guess I can out-snob even the biggest dealers. Chortle Chortle.
These kind of suit dealers are selling to the rich remember. What is the point of working some extremely high paying life sucking job if you can't one-up everyone else in your village. The human race has not progressed beyond the monkey mentality of who gets to sit highest in the tree and dominate.
Since the Vancouver dealer in my case is not selling superior sound they can at least sell superior (read more expensive) prices and "prestige" that if the biggest snob in town thinks it's the best then gee whiz it must, in fact, be the best.
Luckily for me My ego and snobbery can trump these Vancouver dealers since everything they sell is compared to what I think is best, mere glorified telephones. I mean heaven this Vancouver dealer is carrying the BMW rhyming company and that SS brand that wants marriages to remain in fidelity - or MF for short. I mean c'mon this is mere rubbish that those silly little magazines are on about. The mere masses of high end shoppers - they know nothing about true greatness. RGA knows all and through RGA you will get a truly good system.
Beat the bloody dealers at their own game -- umm but be careful - you may end up believing your own ears which is unfortunately the downfall of the whole enterprise.
