Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater B&K AVR307

It is unfortunate. Business, just like life in the wild, is survival of the fittest. But it's not as easy as launching a good product in the market and having high hopes and good intentions. Once a company moves from being a small outfit to a big business it has to contend with it's fair share of espionage, idea theft, vicious rumor mills, and the stock market. And I would have to say the fashion industry is one of the most finicky of all businesses.

You can be up on top of the world one day, where everything you stamp your name on is gold. Then in the blink of an eye the thirteen year olds of the world consider you old news and within a year nobody will buy anything with your name on it.

How on earth has Gap stayed in business, then?

There's way too many(women's) clothing stores around. Look at any mall directory in North America and 3/4 of the merchants are selling women's clothes or shoes.

:::imagines all of those stores selling audio equip't, hardware/tools, cycling and fishing supplies...:::

Heh. If men were actually buying all that stuff in stores, there would be more stores.

"A Window On Your World ... Fashions by Rick" would be the name of my line if I were a women's clothing designer.

I missed my calling.

I would name my blue jean company 'SEX'. Because everyone knows sex sells.

No.

It doesn't sound like you did.

Hi ND,

It is gratifying to see service like that. On the other hand, B&K gear, like Bryston and Macintosh, is very expensive compared to many other brands, so it's almost as if you are paying up-front for the long-term service.

In 2001, the B&K AVR307 cost $3500. The 5.1-channel version was $3000.

Still, it's wonderful service and speaks highly of the company.

Regards,
Alan

I think someone already did that.

Hmmm... well since I've never seen 'SEX' on the back of someone's pants, then I guess I've been proven wrong.

I'm glad I didn't sink millions of dollars into being proven wrong. I'll take being proven wrong on an Axiom forum over losing millions of dollars any day.
