What does "given you a little leeway" mean ?? I haven't done anything wrong and I don't appreciate the insinuation. You're judgement is off.. I'm 40, and speaking of tone, well done for lowering it with snotty personal comments.

Well for luxury goods it never is rational. Although you pay 5x more for perhaps just 2x the quality, the utility (personal satisfaction/happiness) that it brings sometimes cannot be measured.

So you are unable to ascertain how much pleasure you get from stuff?

That's weird!

I think you can usually measure that - mainly by asking yourself honestly after the novelty factor has worn off. This seems to be confirmed by peoples ability to articulate their conclusions about stuff they own.

 

By the way.. by which criteria do you regard the quality of a BV10 2x the of the latest greatest Pioneer? It's certainly not 2x the picture quality. 😁

It's probably time someone corrected you on this Pioneer thing. They stopped making TVs last year.

I know.. I was talking about the 9G series.

Have you got any other "corrections" for me whilst we're at it? 🤔

-I think what many, including myself, are trying to articulate is that making a decision that satisfies you on an emotional level will yield a more satisfying result in the long run than a purely "fact based" decision.

When it comes to TV, you want both..... normally

So if your method of decision making works for you and you don't require, or don't desire, an emotional content to the items you interact with every day, that's just fine.

Well.. uh.. no... I didn't say don't consider your emotions. That's the value judgement part. What I' said is having had a great deal of experience selling " high end " electronics and have seen firsthand people, a large percentage of people, who make the same mistake over and over again by acting on impulse or "following the heart". It's just prone to error, you want to keep your emotions in check when making big purchases that you have to live with. You would think this is common sense really, but it's not an innate skill.

Hey.. I don't want to labour the point... on topic though!!

Huh?? Let's not exaggerate.. I offered varying opinions to a few posts, some in agreeance some not, you seem to have taken this as an "attack". Perhaps I shouldve put a smiley on the  "superstitious" line... You knew that was lighthearted right..??

Anyway this is a good community - good natured.. I think more highly of Beoworld than to make personal comments about people I don't know, or selective quoting for effect for that matter..

Let's move on shall we.. 🤒

And while the membership may be expensive for you, it's a sign of good faith that your intention is to contribute and not just to stir the pot and move on. Maybe a sliver membership is within your budget.

I'm sorry but ........... No!

The site has never harangued anyone for paid membership, nor is paid membership a pre-requisite before expressing an opinion.

As far as I can see the member has done nothing other than suggest a rational decision making process, if you disagree then fine - buy what you like, as you like it, it does not make him "wrong".

As regards "tone" - I would suggest that expressed above is far more damaging than anything expressed by "Ilikehifi".

So if your method of decision making works for you and you don't require, or don't desire, an emotional content to the items you interact with every day, that's just fine.

Well articulated 'Trip'. My various audio & visual B&O items are between 6 & 16 yrs old. None are therefore 'up to date' in technological terms, but the 'buzz' I get from using and looking at them every day makes it all worth it.
