[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 132981, member: 30"] Re: Crest Pro-Lite Questions - Two 3.0 bridged or one 7.5 for a pair of Danley TH118 And Merry Christmas to you JR :) I wonder if this was the same company that a HUGE music store (when I lived up in DC) used to tell customers that "this companies" amps were louder than other major manufacturers with the same wattage-and then they would proceed to "prove it". They would hook up 2 amps with similar power to the same model speaker. When they would plug into "the companies" amp it would be louder than when they would plug into the more popular brand. And this "proved" that they were louder. Now never mind that the only real difference was the input sensitivity-but they sold a lot of amps this way-and had lots of people around the area telling others how much "louder" they were. Of course they were not running the amps at full output-and this "simple test" was full of flaws-but that did not stop them--------- It is fine to lose a "fair fight", but when it is not fair-that is when I get a bit upset at how it was conducted. Or when you do a demo and don't know "the rules of the game" or what the customer is really looking for-it makes it hard. We recently "lost a demo and the project" even though everybody (including the customer) said that our product that was presented performed much better than the other products. But in the end the "artistic guy" liked another product better-because it fit better into what he was doing and the very thing that we were told was the most important simply wasn't important anymore. It is important to know who the real customer is. Had we known that-we would have suggested a totally different product. But we were going on what we were told the customer wanted-but that was not exactly what they wanted. It was simple a "form factor" issue. If you don't know the rules it can be tough to win.
