Delayed bog seats

Now get real old chap, this may be a good opportunity to cancell the order.

It does improve the sound but only marginally and it looks bloody awful. Any future wife/partner will insist that it must be chucked out. Be honest, it looks like a cheap 1950's tea trolley.

If Fraim is too much......buy some Hutter.

You know I am right.

You can always pop down here for a quick listen.

I owe it to stop a fellow forum member from making a ghastly mistake.

Firms who deliver late, despite false promises are often the ones who have bits missing when it does come. You then have another long wait so be warned.

Something inside me says that instead of taking the piss, we should be doing what I do for a living......BOLLOCK THE SUPPLIER AND THREATEN HIM WITH ALLSORTS OF NASTY THINGS.

Is it ok if I ask whether or not your good lady wife carries a white walking stick ?

Why do you think I started this thread?

I am aware that the folks at QS do dip into this forum from time to time.

I can't cancel the order as I have QS Ref. without the holes in, and the swap to the holed version is just that - a swap for an extra tenner per shelf.

The holes do make a difference - that I know.

Regards,

Steve.

The proof of the pudding...

Steve says holes make a difference

Very true.....they let more shit through

Mick

NB...apologies to all at Naim for the above comment.

Indeed, which is why people who use small components (eg. TC with his DNM/Crimsons) can't use the bog seats.

The holes reduce resonances within the shelf, which is why I want them some time this year...

Come to think of it, the end of last year would not have been unreasonable.

As for them turning up with bits missing, I have all the requisite bits, I just need the bloody shelves!

Steve.

Steven,

Here's something you can try for TC while you wait for your bog seats. Get a 1cm drill and pretend you're the Killer Driller on your soild shelves. Don't get too carried away as there might be no shelf left

Maybe your newly prepared Edam Reference will outperform those bog seats...

Leading by example, I shall return them sooner and not later, so that another customer in the same position as me won't then be kept waiting.

If you accept this mission we want a blow-by-blow...

This would, at the very least, gain you a collumn in HiFi News and Record Review, replacing Ken Kessler (remember the old biopic of ken in "Headroom"?)...

NB: Hi-Fi Mag Publishers might not accept accounts of blow-by-blows with nubile young french students. So post em here instead.

In the mean time, take some Mick lessons, and bollock the supplier. Do Quadraspire have a forum on which you can politely suggest that their service could do with a little improvement - then they can bollock you and make you the subject of a fatwa.

I suspect the pentangle mod has merit - time you got youself one of these...

I did the same thing at the Bristol Show - I went up to Simon of QS while he was doing a dem, and asked,

"Where are my bog seats?"

He replied that they would be with me by the next week.

A bystander who was most impressed with the dem asked,

"What are bog seats?"

I pointed wistfully at the demo stand...

I perhaps need to point out that I have ordered them via my dealer, who has done some chasing-up himself in my presence, and he informed me after the Bristol Show that he had forewarned Simon that I'd be doing some of my own chasing-up at the Show - which I did as outlined above.

Regards,

Steve.

i have had the same problem -- and with british companies as well. the last was isoblue -- i simply wanted to know whether the lack of sideways rigidity was a design feature or weakness -- never got a reply. very strange...

I don't think some companies realise the damage they do by poor customer service.

well put...

enjoy

Ross,

think how much more satisfying it would have been to say "sorry, you took too lomg - I've bought Hutter".

And then they would realise.

cheers, Martin

write a letter to big boss stating that although their product is excellent, it is being let down by poor sales service, to the point you have cancelled the order.

Await response from salesman who has just had his ass kicked.

This might, just might explain why they haven't arrived.

His answer to the question was "next week," not,

"How dare you call them bog seats!!! For that, you can wait until 2004!"

I am contemplating ordering a QS Ref, so please keep us posted as to what happens!

IMHO that's a most curious position given the situation you see outlined above. If after reading that you are still thinking about it, just go with the leap of faith and place your order - it might at least be entertaining.

I know this must sound somewhat rude, but isn't your position akin to watching news of someone being (say) fried alive in a certain brand of minivan, hearing about others of same fate, and then announcing that you were still contemplating placing your order for same minivan? Well, barring the life-threatening scenario, of course!

Mick

that sounds like a fine solution. Nice one. Steve, they are the words of a master - at least you will have resolution quickly.

I'm still waiting for some decoupling rings and a tuning key, which were missing from the original order.

QS need to get their act together as it is poor service IMO. On the plus side, it's such a great stand in terms of musicality, that it was worth the wait, and more importantly, I got mine in the end
