When suggesting audio components for friends and relatives...


This is a bit of "thinking out loud". I believe I have been lucky as what I have helped friends and relatives with in buying higher end and even simple components has worked out very well.

With some it was a simple system as in a Nakamichi SoundSpace 5 or the like, and with some it was Magnepans, Martin-Logans, Audio Research...and others.

The question is have you had good success kindly helping others? Have there been any regrets or negative situations? About the only slight downside was after selling a former high end system of mine to my best friend, he died from cancer and his wife replaced some of the items with BestBuy "stuff" and I could never understand as to why.

I've had friends and co-workers pay me to do it. A few months ago some doctors were over for a party and a couple of them told me when they are ready they will be giving me a call. So guess you could say pretty successful. 

Which is very pleasing, seeing as every single time I bother to detail my system building approach its roundly criticized. These complete systems by the way were $1200 to $2500 all-in, including my fee.
