coincident speakers do you have troubadors

"He simply told me he would not build them and aimed me at a more expensive set of Coincident speakers for sale on Audiogon"

This is one of the most amazing statements I've ever heard. A manufacturer took his time to look up and point you to a USED pair of his speaker on Agon? Geez...what an unselfish and compassionate thing to do. In this economy particulalry since he is losing a sale and there is nothing in it for him. Asking anyone to give you the blueprints for something he designed as part of what he does to put food on the table is pretty silly. No one is going to want to build someone a retired product for several reasons. Call up GM and ask them to build you a 57 Chevy or ask Apple to build you an original Imac. I don't think so. Let's have some common sense folks. There is plenty to criticise in the audio industry, but this isn't one of them.

"Asking anyone to give you the blueprints for something he designed as part of what he does to put food on the table is pretty silly."

You know... I was trying to be polite and nice and all and I get a freakin' sarcastic, and rude response. I believe I explained why I didn't want to purchase an extremely more expensive pair since I HAD JUST BOUGHT A PAIR. I also explained that I wasn't upset with Mr. Blume.

As for your comment, which appears to be an attempt to continue a negative posting procession, Mr. Blume explained that he NO LONGER MAKES THESE SUBS. So how in the world would that be taking ANY food off of his table.

You are comparing Mr. Blume to GM but I doubt you go to a GM dealer to get your repairs done due to the fact that they charge more than most auto shops. Nor do you go the the GM Facility where your vehicle was made since they will refuse to do it there. Mr. Blume DOES do repairs on his speakers and DOES attempt to help albeit not necessarily the way we may want him to.

You have given an inept attempt to compare apples and oranges here. Your lack of ability to "read into" a post, and the use of preconceived notions as to what you already plan to say, show your lack of neutrality on this topic.

" There is plenty to criticise in the audio industry, but this isn't one of them."

Thanks for the criticisim on my post and I couldn't agree with you more.

Hey Dannym63. Do you still have a Ford plant in your neck of the woods? My 98 Ranger needs an oil change so I thought maybe I could take it there and have it done and maybe stop and say hi and listen to your new speakers. It is always nice to kill two birds with one stone.

No negativity in this post. LOL

Hey Horsnit, sure don't have one anymore... they closed it over a year ago and put hundreds of people out of work.

Maybe Jimaxp knows a good speaker company you can take your Ford to to get it fixed?

I'm sorry was that my outside voice?

What I meant was "no ma'am there isn't but you're welcome to come on by and say howdy anytime".

I am setting my new speakers up to "Bi-Amp" but that's another topic for another time I suppose. Don't let me accidentally "Hijack" this topic.

What a great suggestion. Hummmmm I know I will take it to Coincident and while I am there I can demo some subs to go with my Troubadours.

Good luck with the bi-amping and can't wait to hear the new system.
