[QUOTE="Jack Arnott, post: 51123, member: 304"] Re: Uli Behringer of The Music Group Q&A Hello Uli, A couple of decades ago I purchase some of your equipment that was manufactured in Germany and is still in use today. Any units after that, that were not made in Germany were of obviously inferior quality. Not only did they not last, but service was non existent. It became clear that these embodied a lot of two things that bothered me. Planned obsolescence, and disposable product. So I stopped buying anything you made, and spent my money with companies who made better products, and had business models that I liked, or at least did not detest. My dislike goes so far that it is emotional as well a logical. I will not even buy an American wine that only has a name that is similar to your product. I feel angry even writing this. I am now old and buy less and less gear, and the money I do spend is on gear of very high quality, so I can do smaller and smaller shows, and make more money. I also am a frequent contributor and reader of online forums. I have learned a lot about your company simply by reading here. And I consider forums a good way (if run correctly like I think this place is), to raise a bar in our community, a bar that I consider you to have helped lower. I have always hated movies where the protagonist has a change of ways and becomes a "good person" overnight, without any work and everyone goes home happy. It seems to me that you find yourself in a position to now need the professional sound community, after years of selling to ankebiters that have make our business lives hard. I can feel good about never owning another piece of gear that has your name attached to it. What can you say that will make me change my mind about not also recommend to my dying day, in online forums such as these, that no-one else ever spend their money with you?
