I think the fact that 27% say they would be impressed is very good. I believe if you did a survey about any other brand you wouldn't get nearly that high.

Right, but it is still early. Poll only up for an hour so far...... Just for the record, I am pro Bose for most events.
 
the other thing to consider here is that a third of the people polled said they would be impressed just by the name bose. As your data has shown, i do mention to people that we use an "all-bose" sound system since 1 out of every 3 or 4 are impressed.

I have not heard from people in this poll that have actually even heard or seen the L1 system.

The "bose" bookings i have received are from people that have actually seen and heard the system.


Good data. thanks!
 
Duece,

In order for your poll to have any validity at all, your sample must be substainally larger, more diverse and you, the pollster, must refrain from follow-up comments and also prohibit voter follow up comments to prevent coloring the opinion of subsequent voters.

I'm neither pro or con Bose. I used the system, it didn't meet my needs. Doesn't mean I wouldn't reconsider if my needs or applications changed. But to suggest that a brand name on a speaker impresses anyone other than a gear geek or a fellow performer/sound tech seems like folly.

Regardless, good Luck with your exercise.

I agree. But I don't think I did anything to influence the poll.

I think it's interesting to note that most of them so far have said that the performer is much more important than the gear...

I think that is always the case.
 
Have you noticed, though, how perceptions are SO DIFFERENT there... Someone swears " No highs, no lows, must be Bose"... while another swears " All highs, all lows, must be Bose ".......

It is amazing how some people hear something from someone else and take it and run with it as fact. especially when it rhymes.

Perception is very different in just about anything. Look at politics. People will look at the EXACT same law or proposed law. Some will say it's hurting the poor and helping the rich. Others will say the exact opposite about the same law.
 
The "No highs, no lows, must be Bose" adage hearkens back to the days of the original 402 Waveguide home stereo cabinets.

Much of it was self-inflicted. Bose was notorious for promotional presentations that turned out to be misleading. Bose didn't fool the audiophiles, hence the adage.
 
So, I guess my point in all this was to prove -- or try to prove -- that as a DJ we just have to go with what we think best works for us. You can't please everybody.

So true. I don't care what you do. you'll never please every person every time. That's why there is different equipment, different prices, different styles, different personalities.

We all need to find what works for us and for the customers we serve. I'm just very happy i found the equipment that fits my needs and my customers needs.

If and when my needs change and/or my customer's needs change, so may my equipment.
If new equipment becomes available that would better fit my or my customer's needs, i'd change then too.
