Revel speakers - dealer scuttlebutt


Hi - I recently heard 2 speakers in the Performa3 line and was very impressed.  Reading about the company' s research efforts and scientific approach to design furthered by respect for Revel's products.  As I'm in the middle of a speaker search I happened to mention to a audio dealer hearing Revel speakers and my favorable experience.  He doesn't carry Revel and wrote to  me that he heard that they are having financial problems and will be dropping Revel.   This doesn't make sense to  me and I couldn't find any news that backs up his statement.  Does  anyone know  anything about this?  Is it just the dealer's "sour grapes"

thanks!

I really have no use for salespeople that bad mouth a competitor,or product they don't carry. I worked retail sales for a few years,and when someone came in looking for a brand we didn't carry, I always said the same thing, " that's a great product,however,let me show you (this highly rated product)"  Did it always win the customer over? No,but if they didn't purchase from me,at least they left my store not feeling negatively about me or the store. 
       
 Sales is asking the right questions,listening to what the customer is looking for,and product knowledge.
