Add...copiers too..
I really don't understand the sort of negativity against the Chinese. I think they are remarkable manufacturers/assemblers and the way they have elevated themselves from what they used to be is fantastic! They are responsible for lowered prices of many products globally which once used to be niche and elitist - and that's a very good thing. Me, I could not care less who owns what including where it was manufactured just as long as the fit/finish/engineering/performance/price is good - to me that is all that matters!
Oh, and BTW, Fink Audio Consulting are the engineering brains behind MANY speaker lines from many renowned brands including Epos [under Creek] - you didn't think all speaker manufacturers do their engineering inhouse, did you?
I can go on and on about mega copiers in India too but then that would be painting Indians with broad brush strokes and OT hence will not.Add...copiers too..
Economies and capitalism absolutely do not care about inter country skirmishes or disasters, major or minor, they do not outrage like human sentiments - that goes for governments too. There is too much of interdependency to take a confrontational stand. Even governments will take tough stances on countries whom they have no reliance on - so no big loss - or so they think. They leave the outrage to vent via their IT cells and followers on social media who are 99% moronic anyways. As long as the Chinese keep providing a service and tick all the right boxes while doing it, they will win. Either our local businesses should learn to compete or should roll over and die.
It is incorrect to also taint "investor" groups and compare them to so called "audio companies" and make it seem that investor groups are some sort of fools who don't get audio. Doing so makes audio seem like some sort of elitist voodoo that presumes only "audio companies" understand audio. Yes, sometimes mistakes are made in direction given by investor groups and audio companies are not immune to this. By and large, engineering level management remains the same in case of a company take over unless they are doing something hopelessly wrong - in the end, it is the bottom line that counts both for investor groups and audio companies and if audio companies claim otherwise, they are liars or fools or both!@keith_correa absolutely no issues with Chinese manufacturers.
What I meant is if some proper audio company takes it over instead of bunch of investors like the IAG group they will make products with more emotion and audio values
Why? To protest because someone else does better than us? Or to mourn because we cannot match up?
Who cares where they are made as long as they light up which is the purpose of a candle.Heyyy...just realized..they are made in China too
Neither...
I saw this thread yesterday from my mobile and wanted to branch off the OT rather than delete them as I felt this warranted debate. Got hold of my laptop and doing it now.
I see where Mpw is coming from and also, Keith & Hydrovac. They are looking at the same issue from two different angles and hence the conflict of opinions.
). He actually promotes a new Doctor who has just moved in.
Actually and strangely this has happened in our society though of course not exactly the way your example shows. The 2 parties had business dealings, stay in the same colony and had civil issues. They kept up their business dealing and still do. The 2 parties still don't speak to each other except hollering at each other during meetings. Each one needs the other's business and has not cut that off. Why cut off your nose to spite your face?I saw this thread yesterday from my mobile and wanted to branch off the OT rather than delete them as I felt this warranted debate.

For Keith & Hydrovac, here's a story just for assumption just to change the perspective for you both:
This happens between you and your neighbour. You are, say a Doctor with a Clinic in the same complex and he a grocery shop. Naturally he's your family grocer. In society meetings, he scuttles your interests and repeatedly vetoes your intention to do some modifications to your flat to build a HT Room (adding our favourite masala for some emotional connect
Now my question: Will it be business as usual with him or will you actually take your car out and go to the Departmental Store a kilometre away to fetch your groceries?
You've still not answered my question explicitly but I take your reply that it would be business as usual for you. Unfathomable for me but hey, it's just me.
Me, I learnt a long time ago to keep emotions separate, to think as objectively as possible and then take decisions. Yes, it seems robotic at times and is very difficult to practice but one tries.You've still not answered my question explicitly but I take your reply that it would be business as usual for you.
