2. People seemed genuinely surprised that Schiit could "behave" and present well, like a normal audio company. About 99.9% of this I have to credit to Jim Salk, who manned the playlist through his own streamer.
I don't get this! True, you have an unconventional approach, and a somewhat more human face than many audio companies, but you've never made any secret of being business men. Marketing is as business as it gets, for goodness sake! And your book, although it flies in the face of current, conventional "startup" wisdom (wisdom? ha ha!) could, and should, be a textbook in how to start and run a business.
5. Among the 2-channel crowd, only about 50% know who we are...which isn't really surprising, since we've concentrated mainly on headphone and desktop stuff until now.
I'm British, and I spend a lot of grammar-nazi time telling people that, apart from a handful of specific words meaning something different, there is not that much difference between British English and American English, but sometimes you Americans are a little, err... strange.
2-channel crowd? So how many channels do headphones have? Err, right: two. And, like listening with speakers, it is called stereo.
I actually had to ask a friend who has spent time in USA, what are these people on about with their 2-channel? Do they mean 2-channel with speakers? Yes, he told me.
I get that what you guys mean is not multi-channel theatre stuff: that makes sense. But 2-channel meaning not headphones makes no sense whatsoever.
