I guarantee you that if you contact dealers you'll be able to find one that will sell to you at a discount (possibly 20-25%) and will ship to you. I do this on every new item I buy (except Holo Audio as there are no dealers). There are some brands that are more difficult to get discounts on, like Magico, but for the most part it can be done. I was considering Legacy at one point and found a discounting dealer but it's been a while and I don't remember who it was. Pretty sure he was in TX.
Legacy Audio has a new owner
I don’t know who it is. But I just tried to order another sub direct from the factory. I have been buying from them this way for many years. In fact I just bought a Foundation Subwoofer and a pair of Studio HD for surround speakers within the last couple months. A nice discount was always part if the deal. I live a few hours by car from the factory and would pick them up on my way to visit a friend in St. Louis so no freight charges. Anyway, I just tried to order another sub. Nope. All sales now must go through the dealer network at full list plus freight etc.
No surprise I guess. The dealers must have been pissed. Unfortunately this takes the price to about $1,500 more than I paid a couple months ago. I’m out on that. I will make do with one sub.

No not a dealbreaker for me. I just need to get over the fact that things will cost more buying through a dealer. And as pointed out above by @shooter41 there’s sure to be dealers that will discount to some level. I just need to do the legwork. None of this is a big surprise really. Bill Duddleson, the founder and principal owner is getting older now. He’s been at it a long time. And frankly, I always wondered how long the dealer network would stand for being undercut on price by the factory selling direct. I’ve benefited greatly by this over the years though. |
