[QUOTE="Ampdog, post: 15549, member: 144"] Not at all, Andre. [I]I[/I] did not say (qualify, intend) that; it was the very nominal low margin of what I seem to find classified as "High End" in brochures and ads, and high-end spiv-talk on the internet, etc. Thus again, it appears to denote the general attitude among this brigade, and then mainly dealers and what you defined as "customers knowing much more about making money (brand name, invoice on the dining table) than what a hi-fi should sound like". As I tried to say, the kind of classification that you and those like you (may I include myself?) try to avoid. The hi-jacked label choking the initial intention into oblivion .... Thinking as I type, a trait of humanity. Cars, e.g. Next year's model (same name) must be slightly "better", thus a little bigger, a few more features, until (to use names long gone) the small 1950 Ford Cortina ended up almost as big as the earlier Fairlane, etc. As we seem to agree: High Fidelity: A revered term in the times of the Williamson, then hi-jacked (that term again), through to High End, taking the original intention was exactly as you said, but soon hi-jacked .... the boring tale goes woefully on and on. Please don't misunderstand me on this. [/QUOTE]
