Grandinote becoming more U.S.A.


I would like to introduce myself, my name is Massimiliano Serra and I am in charge for the US market for Grandinote.

Grandinote is working on making products more readily available in USA and we decided to introduce ourselves directly to you. We will try to attend more at events and exhibitions in US. We also decided to support platforms like Audiogon by putting some of our products on sale HERE with a discount reserved only for you Audiogon members, like a 20% discount on brand new Shinai integrated amplifier or 50% on Mach 9 speakers ex-demo.
 

The e-commerce is now called Grandinote USA and has a .com domain cause in the close future we will have an US division in addition to the Italian HQ.

I know some of you already know our Made in Italy Hi-Fi electronics and even someone here is already a customer of Grandinote.

We would like to say thank you to Audiogon and mods that allowed us to make all of this and we wish to keep that thread to talk about Grandinote, about our products and technologies like Magnetosolid for amps or our crossover less speakers with S.R.T. and update with our news and events.

So, where we start to know each others? :)

@ellajeanelle 

Certainly no intent to offend. 

 

ghasley: Are you a Grandinote representative?

No, nor do I own their products.

 

Unless you are, the question was not directed at you.

Apologies, I just felt like the "welcome" being directed toward Grandinote from some of the posters, yours included, wasn't very welcoming.

 

I don’t know where you got your numbers. Average American Income | 25 U.S. Salary Statistics [2023] - Zippia

Pre-tax average income (preliminary estimates) for 2023 (not wages, pre-tax income which includes capital gains). As we likely agree, "average" doesn't tell the real story since Bill Gates and Warren Buffet can skew the averages. Median is a better indicator. I believe your data may also be for 2021 in spite of the year (2023) being listed in the heading...a reasonable and innocent oversight. The data I posted was from a recent report from JP Morgan Private Wealth Management. Obviously preliminary data but directionally correct.

 

BTW I fall in the top 1.5% (higher if you only county females), but thanks for the erroneous info.

Congratulations! Once you crack the top 1% you will likely not mention your income level again on an audio website. There are a large number of people who frequent this site who pay more in income tax. I am aware of one person who likely pays more in auto insurance annually.

 

I was being sarcastic with my original post...

Recognized it immediately, poorly disguised.

Welcome. Based on reviews, I would like to hear your equipment sometime. Perhaps at a show. 

@ghasley @thecarpathian thank you guys

@shkong78 nice, if you have found a nice setup enjoy it!

@ellajeanelle actually our aim is to be on par and even better in technology and sound quality with the high end market but with a far more affordable price. If you give a look at prices for that kind of products with that target quality most of the other high end manufacturers will ask you even more than the double of our price.

@paullb So don't miss the Tampa Hifi Show next month! we will start from here going around the USA and showing our products 

I recommend you to attend Axpona 2024 held on April.

 

It is the largest audio trade show in US.

 

I had already made all the reservations to attend it.

Good luck to you!
