A local distributor held a Sonos event last evening and I overheard the Sonos trainer tell someone that they have had about .1% failure rate, which is pretty amazing, IMO. He went on to say that the industry is having 7-10% failure rate which, to me, is insanely high. Is it really that bad? I remember the rate in the late-'70s being in the 1% area. I can't imagine having such a high failure rate and thinking it's close to 'acceptable'.
Is this to be believed? After all, it comes from a company paid trainer/rep.
Well, at least it's not like the 100% failure rate I suffered through with Denon.
Although I will say, those Denon pieces still worked really well as two channel stereo receivers. Maybe that could have been a selling point?
