Hi guys.
You've noticed my adverts then. Thanks for the comments.
Believe it or not there was serious bidding the last time I posted the 'no crossover' item. In fact, I started to get worried when the price hit £17,000. If the auction had completed I would have been liable for considerable commissions to eBay. When the price reached £10 million (really) I started to panic. Luckily I discovered that I could end an auction early if the item was lost or damaged so I added some words at the end of the page telling people that I had removed the crossover from the cabinet (which wasn't included) when I dropped it and couldn't find it. All's well that ends well.
The Power Station advert got picked up by the BBC and I was on the news every hour one day. Sadly it was only BBC Radio Shropshire.
Overall, the campaign has been a success as it has generated considerable interest in
Seventh Veil speakers for relatively little expenditure. The speakers are being reviewed by Paul Messenger in
Hi-Fi+ (UK hi-fi mag) next month so I may not need the adverts in the future but, what the hell, they're fun. If anyone out there has other suggestions for how a small speaker company can compete with the Boses, B & Ws, B & Os, etc. - even with a good sounding product - I'd love to know.
Anyway, thanks for posting, lylefan and Johng316, I am prepared to sell the
Audiophile Emotion Mops individually. Just send me a self-addressed envelope stuffed with cash.
..And if you get a chance to listen to the speakers ...
