[QUOTE="Pyro_By_Nature, post: 1793036, member: 558479"] I'm sorry, but what is wrong with making money?They're not there to make every single person happy, they're around to make money and sell a decent product.They're a business.If they feel their product is worth it, and people pay that much, let em' buy it. Second, if you asked anyone about adescent, yeah they'd say no.It's ascendant audio....I don't know how hard it is to get it right.JL will NEVER be under RE, I'm sorry.JL is just too established and has their name out there.And you can actually get a reply to your emails.... RE is a business, they're trying to make money.They're supporting their dealers who run businesses, who are also trying to make a living.It is not their fault you are a ****ing penny pincher.JL does not overcharge.In fact, JL really has no say in what the final price is to the consumer.They just sell to their dealers at dealer cost and they're happy.Let the dealers make however much money they want. Tru, zapco, and mcintosh do NOT rely on the internet for business.If I remember correctly all of them are against internet sales.Except tru, I know ED was selling their lower end shit for a while. Build quality.I'm sorry, but don't even begin to compare the build quality of something from destijl to some of the larger companies.Many people think, mainstream = crappy build quality.Which I find not the case.I can not tell you how many **** subs we have gotten from destijl with chunks missing from the magnets, scratches on the chrome, extra glue dripping down the basket, extra glue stuck on the other side of the surround, glue on surrounds (only once or twice though), extra glue coming off from the dustcap, etc. etc. In fact I have a sub out in the shop right now just collecting dust, when you push it down you can hear a somewhat "scrunchy" noise.And we found out it's the extra glue on the back of the surround all schmeared around causing that noise. I have never gotten a sub from JL, memphis, RF, alpine, powerbass, kicker, infinity, or kenwood with any of the above. [/QUOTE]
