Discount Stores, i.e. newaudiovideo.com

I'm rather surprised that no-one has bothered to ask them if they're an authorized dealer for whatever specific brand of equipment they're looking for. I've sent them an email asking if they're an authorized dealer for RBH but haven't heard back yet - probably because it's the weekend.

I have the same issue with the purchase. It's not Monitor Audio but JBL 4312E speakers. I was told that JBL won't sell them their speakers because
they are 30% cheaper compared to other dealers. It's still on stand by. Will see. NEWAUDIOVIDEO.COM IS NOT AUTHORIZED DEALER.

Called New Audio, spoke to the character people have described as rough around the edges, he said they had the Rel sub in stock. Placed my order online. 1 week later, still no sub. Called into their customer service, then got the "ah, we don't have that item in stock, but we can sell you something else?". Said no, please cancel the transaction (I purchased through PayPal). Several days later, transaction still pending... seems shady to me. Wouldn't purchase unless through Paypal, and don't hold your breathe you'll get what you've purchased, even if they verify it is in stock before hand.

Look at all the folks in here commenting; most have 2 posts or less.............

Here is a perspective from an authorized dealer, we are factory authorized to sell close to 60 brands and we are a displaying dealer to boot.

You have to ask yourself why would anyone be allowed to sell products at next to 0 margin and why would anyone want to do it.

When you look at profit you need to consider all the factors, for example credit card processing takes 3% if you have to pay incomming freight that also affects you.

Then you have the cost of a warehouse and people to stock it add in advertsing etc and you can see why these are fradulent businesses.

The only business that can run effectively is a supermarket which sells thousands of items a day even with low profit the profits add up.

High end audio by defination is a low volume business, higher profits are required to keep the stores even open.

Add to that if you want to have a store where people can come and listen then you have to pay money for display stock.

If you think that a store can survive on really low profits due to volume you have another thing comming.

Most of the stores that run this model are fradulent opperations.

Support a real store and get the service and support that you should receive and know that you are getting real products with the real warranty support and service that an authorized dealer can provide
