[QUOTE="Caleb Dueck, post: 65057, member: 60"] Which is the cause, and which is the effect? Small production (or install for that matter) budgets leading to lower grade gear, or lots of lower grade gear flooding market leading to small budgets? In install world, when given a budget amount, I try to ask how that figure came about. XYZ competitor quoted a Super Ultra Craptastic Pro system for 25% of realistic, thus that is the budget limit we are expected to come in under. However, there are a few situations where the powers that be only want something that passes signal, which leads to entrepreneurs filling the void. My take is that all the "cheap anklebiters" pushed expectations down, which led to market demand for the resulting race to the bottom. Caleb [/QUOTE]
