Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths?

I can't find a dealer list for Harbeth in the US.  Fidelis is the distributor but they don't seem to list other dealers.  I know there are a few but I'm not sure how much of a presence Harbeth actually has.  They get talked about a lot but I'm guessing they aren't as widely owned as you'd guess based on the amount of press and forum chatter they get.  

A number of years ago (10 or 15?) I read that when Harbeth started getting more popular they had to decide whether they wanted to upscale the company to meet demand or raise prices and keep their production capabilities stable.  They decided to raise prices.  I believe it was a John Marks post on audio asylum where I read this but I'm not 100% sure.  

You can definitely appreciate why they'd want to do this.  If they grow the company and expenses when there's a Harbeth fad they'll be in a tough spot when the fad is over.  If they see the enthusiast as their core customer rather than the fad follower they don't want to become dependent on the fad follower.
