I truly apologise if you thought I was being a dick, I really wasn't intending that at all.

No harm done Neil
I kinda hoped you were not trying to be a dick
Break it down then- what brand of speaker terminals?

Thanks. To be honest I don't know, because I personally don't care about it. Probably easy enough to find out though.
True to Shindo form, simple plastic things!

Yup simple plastic things is about right. And they work like magic.

Maybe you can hit him with a rubber hose next if he does not respond in the manner in which you expect your salespeople to respond?

I know, they are simple and plastic.
Lamm used to use similar plastic posts in their very first models, that Vlad claims, were the best sounding ones. Then customers started complaining about them not being fancy enough, and he changed them to metal...
Anyhow, I d like to know the brand

No, I wouldn't.
But, I expect a level of salesmanship to correspond to a level of the product being offered.
it is not exactly widgets we are buying here.

As others have said, does it really matter? Considering older Shindo amps, speakers used barrier or terminal strips, the binding posts were probably only added to appease audiophiles anyway.

Seems, I inadvertently touched on a forbidden and very sensitive topic.
I sincerely apologize and promise not to ask any more questions.
I was way out of line.
Really sorry

One more thing,
Shouldn't we write a collective letter to Art Dudley, who had a nerve to describe Shindo construction and components in great detail, and actually named brands of capacitors, tubes, switches, etc.
He was so out of line in writing his review, that he actually conducted some MEASUREMENTS!!!
He surely had to be reprimanded back then. But it's not too late now.
