OnkYo! Meh Raps

We try to treat you, the customers, like friends. Thats pretty much the extent of our marketing strategy, and its simplicity often makes decisions easy. When were selling something that sucks, we try to tell you. When it has limited applications or quirks, we try to point them out.We have a harder time, however, with good deals like this one. On the one hand, we would wholeheartedly recommend these speakers to a friend who was interested:"Youre not going to find a better 5.1 speaker system at this price, wed tell our friend, and youd have to pay a lot more for a system that was noticeably better. In other words, if youre looking to spend anywhere between about $150 to $600 on speakers, this is probably the best value youre going to find, even if you dont have an Atmos-ready receiver."Also wed continue, through furrowed brow, that all assumes you already own a receiver or are planning to buy one. If you dont know what that means, start here.On the other hand, we feel a bit dirty recommending products so unreservedly to you, our customers. Suddenly we seem like infomercial hucksters, guaranteeing that you wont find a better price anywhere, guaranteed. But its true.This treating customers like friends approach sounds so simple, but many dangers lurk. In emails to our (IRL) friends, for example, we make ample use of emoji and slang expressions such as yo. But if we sent you an email with the subject line, Yo [Your Name], we think you should buy these Onkyo speakers we would sound like the douchiest of online marketing douches. Even writing douchiest sounds a bit forced, even though its a word we would certainly use with friends.Also, we expect some of our more how to say invested users to complain that were selling yet another Atmos product. But we havent sold anything Atmos in like 6 months! If you were our IRL friends wed tell you to f%&* off for complaining (and we wouldnt use grawlixes), but the buyer/seller relationship doesnt allow that. At least, not directly Putting that aside: This is a good deal. If you have a receiver (Atmos-ready or not) and are looking for some speakers, we recommend that you god this is hard … buy this.There, we did it. Now if youll excuse us, were going to take a shower.
