Ya think?
Yes and more so on other sites, reps, manufacturers and owners of production of audio equipment actively participate on sites. They are there to help and interact, as well as enjoy the hobby. Everyone you can imaging are active on sites in the audio world, Reviewers, assembly personnel, professional installers, Stage and PA audio you name it.Do you think people from the audio industries or that have financial interests are watching and participating on audio forums like AK??
BingoSomewhat, but they're paying more attention to where you actually spend your $$ than all the hot air.

Then AK members also have the negativity to new equipment and anything that might be out of a price point past basic 30-40 and 50 year old equipment. I see a lot of snarky trolling and thread topics to belittle the audio world in general. I can't see a manufacturer wanting to be around here and deal with that. Hell we'v had designers of old equipment run off because of that type of mentality of constant naysaying and negativity form know it alls.
