Thumbs down Good Guys are actually Bad Guys !

WARNING !!!!! Dont go to the Hayward Good Gays, I was there to get a measurement on a Wega tv and buy 2 complete audio video set up all I got was arrogant ******. So they look at you and judge you plain and simple..

I went in with my GB work shirt n jeans and smelled like oil and was ready to get a 36" TV and a complete plasma set up with surround for the movie room so I started with the Wega and ask them to bust out a tape measure so I can make it fits the custom set up on the family room and BAMMMM! arrogant as hell....eyed me from head to toe (maybe he is gay, big brother from Nigiria) and the other guy was an @sswipe too..

Oh well they lost my buisness(EASY10G'S b1tch I take elsewhere). UP YOURS GOOD GAYS !!!

i don't get some people in retail. who are they to look some one up and down when they themselves are probably just making minimum wage and if they're lucky commission.

AMEN !!!

I will try my luck with Best Buys.. Unless you folks know of a better place that can really help. I need to get a movie room set up and family room set up on audio video. I have a budget and just need to fit it all in. under $8,000 no furniture need just all gear.

Thanks in advance

Bose makes some great stuff for home audio. The only way to go in my opinion.

Bose is damn crap! do not buy bose.... OMG. they are NOT even in the same league as REAL quality speakers.

want some pimp ****?

my uncle has these speakers
http://www.legacy-audio.com/2003/focus2020.html
I know that, in "real-world" terms, $6500 is a pile of money to spend on a pair of speakers. But the world of high-end audio is nothing if not a fantasyland. In this world there are speakers that cost twenty times as much as the Legacy, and these days there are more $20-$30k speakers than you can shake a stick at.
my good friend's bro has these
http://www.soundlab-speakers.com/r3.htm
US retail price $6,970/pair


these are awesome too

Are we talking about the same systems? Maybe I'm mistaken here, lol.

Bose = crap

all of their systems are horrible. you will never get the full sound from those tiny speakers w/ a sub to handle the bass.... trust me.

once you hear a TOP quality system (15k+ price), you'll know the difference. obviously you can spend 1/4 of that and still get a decent sounding system but it's NOT the same.

Gino,

Video Only is the place you need to go. I can guarantee you won't find the stuff you want anywhere cheaper, and the people there are the least arrogant out of all the stores. Trust me, give them a try, you won't be disappointed.
