SoundMan Steps Into It Again
August.05/ 2006 Filed in: Humor
SoundMan is feeling kind of spunky after his recent review and has decided to share a little industry scuttlebutt. Reading yesterdays post about the back story on the Klark-Teknik's Square One Dynamic processor has reminded me of a little 'back story' of my own. From highly placed anonymous sources of course, there is an interesting story behind the Bosh buyout of Telex. It seams that Bosh, wanting nothing but the best, rejected the other major players for Telex because the other candidates were not up to snuff, including the 800 lb. gorilla Harmon Industries (you know JBL, Crown,
I used to say that if you bought gear from any of the premium manufactures you weren't getting ripped off you were just buying a different sound philosophy. They were all producing quality products but what's been up with JBL recently. A once proud company now turning out an unrelenting stream of inferior products. It couldn't be that all their talented engineers have jumped ship and joined the TELEX team.
I'm still waiting for a response on the line-array loudspeaker shootout challenge.
Congratulations TELEX! Maybe next time Harmon (love your car speakers though).
Sincerely - SoundMan
[Note from the publisher: Darn it SoundMan, you can't publish that stuff. I'm sorry I had to step in and censor your post but we've talked about this kind of stuff before and you promised to behave. I'm sorry readers that you had to see us fight in public like this but we have to have some kind of standards - right?]
[Note from Dale: To heck with the publisher. I'm putting the censored text back in!]
[Note from John: This kind of junk doesn't belong on the CareySound site SoundMan. If you want to air your dirty laundry , get your own blog. Don't get me wrong now, I've yet to meet a JBL product that I can stand to listen to, but it seems that you are trying to start a war and this just isn't the place to do it.]
[Note from SoundMan: Hey wait a minute. I'm just trying to get a little friendly competition going. I'm sorry if the truth hurts. Come on, how about a little Dynacord on JBL action (and what the heck a little Yorkville or Meyer). We could even sell a few tickets for the old soundman's retirement home. It would be fun! Quit taking life so seriously.]
[THE FINAL WORD FROM Ken Carey: Alright everybody, you need to take this outside so we can get back to the mission at hand, proving a useful SAFE place for all of our readers to sharpen up their audio knowledge and skills. PLEASE dear readers let us know the kind of things you would like to see on the CareySound site before this kind of nonsense erupts again!]
