With the greatest respect, that is rather a daft statement. Willingness to invest is one thing, *ability* to invest is entirely another. If you want to install a whole house audio system made by Sonos, you need a bit of cash lying around. Most people can afford a couple of iPod docks though.
You are right to this extent, what kit people want or need to play their music the way that suits them has nothing to do with their income. But their ability to buy that kit certainly does. The fact that your "one percenter" friends only buy iPod docks is because they don't want or need anything more expensive. I bet there are few among your "ninety nine percenter" friends who would love to buy a high end system but cannot afford to do so. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TheLastMan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16021 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96213 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
