Bah! What does HE know.....

This is just hilarious, thanks for that! But did you check his polarity? Or is that too personal?

It depends where you come from. Here in England I can only see it being pronounced Grah-do

That must be the posh people. Others here mostly seem to say Gray-doe...

 

[simpleworld]

Grr-Ah-Doh. At least thats how I pronounce it. Isn't Grado a Spanish name? Grado in Spanish means "grade".

Who cares!!!!

Rant mode:

Again the same question? Guys there are hundreds of topics to discuss, to keep on asking again, and again, the same question time after time...IIRC at least there are three more threads about the pronunciation of Grado family name...IMO the best way to find out, is very simple, just give them a call, they have the phone listed on their website, John will be more than glad to let you know how to pronunce their family name....or maybe they will remind yours, if he is busy and you just interrupt him for such an silly question...

Rant mode Off....

How's sennheiser pronounced? I normally go sen-high-zer.

Ah, the good old Grado pronunciation thread, almost as customary as the venerable "How many girls are there on HeadFi?" thread j/k

The pronunciation is definitely "grey-doe", however I personally like how "grah-doe" rolls off the lounge a little better.

I agree. Question asked (yet again) and answered (yet again... and again... and again). So I'm going to close this thread. We can all play this game again in another 6 months.
