Re: Carvin Line Array In Stock

You appear to be sucking and blowing.
In one sentence, you say that the ONLY reason pro audio amplifiers are made in China is due to reduced environmental expense.
Later you seem to say that a person with a grade 6 education making $1000 per year can build a pro audio amplifier.
I can't imagine an amplifier company in the US, hiring a person with a grade 6 education to build amplifiers, and paying them $1k annually.
If that's what's happening in China, that seems to be another reason for a manufacturer to build amps in China. Makes them significantly cheaper than an American-made unit.
Your argument even seems to imply that a Chinese built amp, built by a grade 6 graduate, making $1K per year, will be the equivalent of a North American built amp. They're that simple to build...
That being the case, why spend the extra money? The quality is the same. The amp is cheaper.
Is there some obligation (other than the fact that the more expensive piece of gear is "right" and the less expensive piece of gear is "wrong") to buy more expensive equipment?If gear that costs more is "right", why stop at paying MSRP for equipment? I could spent 25% over MSRP, then the gear I buy would be even more "right". If the less expensive gear is satisfactory, why spend more money? Because you want to drive a Lexus?
Sorry, as your customer, it's not my obligation to make sure you can buy a Lexus. It's my obligation to add as much value as I can to my company.
I can think of a great number of reasons to buy North American built gear instead of offshore built gear. Your arguments certainly haven't convinced me to buy American.
As far as line arrays go, the fact that your company has brand _______ line array would not be the ONLY reason why I, as your customer would consider hiring you.
If that's all you come to the table with, you're not satisfying my criteria for value. In fact, if that's the best reason you have for me to hire you, you're not getting my business.
This is the Junior Varsity area. We aren't "Real Sound companies"
Of the companies that I know, who rent sound equipment, the owners most likely to drive a Lexus, are the ones who rent out Peavey and Behringer.
I don't mean to sound like such an asshole on my first post, but this is nonsense.
Your arguments don't seem to hold together. It just looks like a bunch of China bashing.
There are some truly excellent reasons to buy domestically built equipment. Xenophobia for its own sake isn't one of those reasons.
Regardless, this has no bearing on the original post.
