you guys now wha i mean?
I know what you mean but I disagree. There are manufacturers out there who can build absolutely stellar equipment but don't. I think a big part of it is places like Ebay. 10 years ago there was no such thing and you bought from your local shop. They wanted your business and took care of you becauseof it. Once Ebay came you could get items (although usualy unauthorized) for much cheaper and brick and mortar businesses suffered. They needed a way to compete with online companies and as such companies lowered the quality so that your local shop could maintain some sort of margin while still being competitive. Unfortunately its consumers that has brought this lower quality (in all things when you think about it) forth by constantly demanding lower prices.
I remember 10 years ago when people lauded over JL equipment and you rarely heard that they were overpriced. Today its all you hear but when you think about it the pricing scheme of all their lines haven't actualy changed that much. Some companies are out there that have a great product at cheap prices but it seems as if most of those companies always seem to close shop after a couple of years...anybody remember Adire, Entasy, and Mpyre?
