Kjaerhus - Wow, thanks Torben!

[ATS]

Ok, I used to respect Kjaerhus Audio until I read this.

a: A group buy has rules. They should not be broken, otherwise what is the point of having a group-buy?
b: Torben pisses me off when he talks like previous customers should feel they are required to purchase everything he does. Read the words...

We do not want those who supported this group buy to loose due to the absence of all those who did not!

That really is a very unfair thing to say. I don't think I'll ever buy another Kjaerhus product after this. And please, if you think I'm being a prick, its not because I missed out on a deal. I've got GCO-1 I did not need another compressor.

Group guys have rules, and the people who did participate knew what they risked - they risked paying 66 dollars instead of 48. And they were fine with that, otherwise they wouldn't have signed up.... but then Torben feels he has to make some kind of gesture to make them happy... nah sorry, I think that is a dishonest thing to do.

I don't like to be made to feel that I let a complete stranger down, as if I should have bought this latest product just because the ones I currently own are good.

Man.. you want to sell plugins, you don't keep rehashing the same ideas into newer plugins and brand them all as "mastering solutions"

People did not support the group buy because they did not need or want the plugin. How hard is this to understand? I'm pretty confident that those who don't own GCO-1 either signed up or have another plug that they prefer.

Am I just reading this wrong, or does anyone agree with me? f**k it, maybe it is me, but whatever. I don't like being taken into consideration as if I've done something wrong when clearly I (and all the others who didn't participate) haven't.

this place never ceases to amaze me

[steffensen]

hey, its KVR. what can u expect.

[harmony gardens]

this place never ceases to amaze me

LOL,,, agreed.

Torben has shown more class in this one act, than anyone could expect. Let's not forget all the cool tools he gives us for free, either!!! Torben is a top shelf guy.

First I want to say thank you to kritikon for this fine post; a fine thing to wake up to

Acolmiztli, the last text on the group buy page was raw and unedited. As pointed out, English is not my native language and I can ensure you that it was not meant the way you have read it. The group buy went unexpectedly bad so of course I am disappointed. But I am not blaming anyone and I defiantly did not expect owners of GCO-1 or GAC-1 to join the group buy.

greendoor, GCO-1 is the flagship compressor and will always be. It was the concept from the start to make one compressor that could allot instead of 20 pcs of "one flavour" compressors. But there seemed to be a marked for a less complex compressor; at least, that was what I was told on several occasions.

Thanks
Torben

Ok that's fine. I accept that I was wrong. Now will every one stop being pussies over this and grow up! Jesus christ... I admit I was wrong and assholes STILL wanna make snide comments.

Funny!

From the lovely Kjaerhus people recently:

Due to the few signups we have received, mostly by loyal customers who already owns our GAC-1 or GCO-1, we have decided not to charge the extra $18.48, which is the difference between the actual price and the entree fee. We do not want those who supported this group buy to loose due to the absence of all those who did not!

Wow, what a gesture! If I had known I would have signed up I'm rather skint at the moment... (Anyway, I'm more than sorted now with GCO, Crunchessor and Soniformer)

Way to go Kjaerhus!

[MelodyMan]

It's time for mr Acolmiztli to shut up .

You just WON'T see Torben's real motivation for his post. That's fine, but don't bother us anymore with your whining.

Edit: I see he has apologized now. Carry on.

Hey, Alcomiztli...you don't seriously think this one's done yet do you?....this is KvR after all. There's at least another 3 or 4 pages of argument left to be had.

The fact the actual argument has finished doesn't stop the latecomers from arguing. And anyway, what's wrong with some of us being c**ts about it...some of us are c**ts

[Bunnyboy]

cool! can we have a round 2???

Or maybe some sort of foxy boxing: Alcomiztli Vs Torben?

"I will COMPRESS YOU!! with a soft knee"

I will COMPRESS YOU!! with a soft knee

Damn, that gotta hurt! Possibly not as much as the brickwall though...

Yup. I'm proud to be one myself.

[Sequent]

Three cheers and much respect to Torben for this gesture!!! I didn't participate in the gb... was seriously on the fence since I have GCO as well as several other compressors. But that was my decision and I will live with it.

I'm happy for those who got this great deal... and it also makes me feel good about being a kjaerhus customer!

I believe that we are required to at least go to Page 10 now that this thread is in motion!

[Midiworks]

That was it ?

[parky]

That was it ?

What was what?

(Says he trying to pump the thread up to the mandatory 10 pages! )
