Re: Carvin Line Array In Stock





Many of your assertions I agree with, except this one.  The price tag of a professional loudspeaker system is governed by how much the rental company can charge for it.  Even if the speakers sound better, the rental company must be able to win jobs by spouting off the most widely known and highest rental cost equipment, the brands which don't make money for the rental company lose value in the eye of the rental company.  I bought a line array for one reason-- so I could say I own a real, name brand line array and charge more for everything I am doing.  It works really well when bidding against someone else by simply saying "well, of course they don't charge as much, they don't have a brand ____ line array"  Only real sound companies can afford real name brand line arrays, so that must mean that me asking twice as much for my services is both accepted and what real sound companies do.   If I had purchased the best sounding speakers in the world that nobody had heard of, I would be making a poor investment which would amount to zero or negative returns.    If someone wants to just listen to the speakers themselves and not get paid, then your argument makes sense.  I on the other hand, would like to drive a Lexus-- so no peavey for me.
