The are a meet themselves already! With all the gear available. But it's just werd to Stand around to talk to people, esp. When there are others. But still it is a suggestion. Anybody else has any other ideas?

Well, in a way, if we're in Jaben, we probably won't get to interact much. We'll probably be too busy trying out all the gear. Plus, it's a shop, and we might get a little rowdy and intimidating for the other customers.

Just what I think.

I think if we want to go to Jaben for the meet, we might as well do it in our own time. Alternatively, at the end of the meet when we want to listen to something else we didn't get to demo. That's my two cents.

It's a pretty common thing for trade shows and conferences where sponsors have popup stores to sell to attendees. Maybe not in their retail space but they could help pay for location rental in exchange for sales rights. And if not, then we could always approach their competition.

It would only work if we gather enough attention/attendees. No reason for them to get involved otherwise, or their competition for that matter. 
 
I know where you are coming from, but right now, audio doesn't garner as much attention as an IT show. It is just the way it is.

I agree that the market is simply not big enough. Lets just all meet at maxwell. Good chicken rice there

 

[myap2328]

Well, if we want to just make friends, any restaurant or hawker centre would make do. The part of auditioning is the hard part as a quiet place is not easy to find, and the library isn't exactly an option. Btw, have anyone seen this area in Bishan Library where there are tables and chairs on the second floor I think, it seems like a good place.

We could meet in my laboratory at nus on the weekend. I can say we are conducting a user study / workshop.

Haha. Yeah welcome to the stereotype in commercial business. I love going into expensive stores dressed down to see the service provided.

I haven't tested Jaben, but what they do isn't anything new. But yup. I don't like it when businesses do that. It ain't right but.

I'm guessing their perspective is that they hedge their bets on one type of customer spending more.

 

[myap2328]

Jaben sells beats? Oh well, I can be considered a champ. I went in there and asked to audition the fostex th-900 (2700 dollar headphone btw).
