One of the reason some brands are a bit popular here on TBHP, is because the people that represent those brands are active members here. It would be incorrect to generalize any brand, be it JBL, Kicker or Hertz. Of course, this is something we are all guilty of sometimes. But remember, in any brand, there are different levels and series of speakers for different applications. For example JBL - which you called a VFM brand - has car amplifiers that cost over 5 lacs (!!) - hardly VFM, wouldn't you agree? You can never generalize a brand - only a product. | |

| My aim was not to offend anyone ,those were my personal thoughts. Please keep in mind that am a complete noob when it comes to ICE. Sam sir with due respect most of the guys who post that they r new to this and have a budget of around say 20k get a reply to go for Jbl compos ,speakers etc. A little higher and go for jbl sub and amp. I just wrote what i saw happening in the ICE section. I know jbl is a very good brand ,it has high end products too but then i have not seen anyone in the forum getting a 5 lac rs jbl amp.  This is just my observation ,i could be wrong. About generalising ,again i just wrote what i saw being said again and again by the gurus and the ICE lovers ,how can a noob like me categorize such big brands myself ? I guess am part of the gang that still needs to learn a lot when it comes to ICE. |

What I disagree with is your example of JBL to show that it not a VFM brand. Not the brand itself but the nature of the example. Here's why. Just because a brand has a product which is priced at 5 lacs, the brand does not cease to be a VFM brand. Even the 5 lac product could be a VFM product. It depends on the profile of the product and the value that it has to offer in that price bracket. It is in a different price bracket perhaps because it does something that is extraordinary and absolutely nothing upto that price can match it in price and performance. Sometime recently, Absolute Sound magazine published their top 10 cd players of all time where the GamuT cd player came second. It was priced at about $3000. A steep price for a cd player that just plays cds and mostly does nothing else if one were to look at it that way. However, the cd player that came first and third were priced at about $80000 and $ 50000 respectively. If compared to the other two, the GamuT cd player would have to be regarded as outright VFM, right? In India, even the distributors of the products themselves sometimes influence whether the product is VFM or not. I know several products which are simply priced out of the roof when they are actually budget products abroad. In this case, the product ceases to be a VFM product for Indian consumers. It also sometimes fools ignorant customers into believing that since the product costs more it is perhaps better than a cheaper product when in reality it ought to be actually cheaper. I have repeatedly referred to JBL as a VFM product in the past because I think the pricing in India has been fair and by offering Indian consumers a good deal for their money, it falls into the VFM bracket. | |
