I have a great local dealer. They offer wonderful service and support that takes many forms. I feel badly for those without a quality resource such as mine. Their experienced, and professional staff has been my audio hobby an extremely rewarding. I would strongly suggest anyone with a long term interest in hifi do anything possible to pursue a relationship with a high quality retailer.
'In Home Dealers' are the future?
Seems there is growing trend for various distributors to be doing business with 'in home dealers'. These appear to be audio hobbyist that are selling factory product from their homes, at 20 to 25 percent off list. Certainly not fair to the dealer network, but it seems to move additional product, especially at these soft purchasing times. Your opinion?
