Kudos to several dealers


In the aftermath of some heated exchange last weekend regarding a dealer ad, I wanted to offer some kudos to several dealers/people that are very professional and have given me excellent service:
1. Curtis Havens, owner of Advanced Audio in Tacoma, WA (and former co-owner of Havens & Hardesty, which operated many years ago in southern California);
2. John Rutan, of Audio Connections in New Jersey;
3. Leo Massi, of Hyend Audio in Massachusetts;
4. Richard Vandersteen, of Vandersteen Audio.

Thanks to all the dealers and their staffs who are honest,
hard-working folks who support our audio addiction.

Someone should start a thread on BAD dealers?
I've got to mention both C.C. Poon of Monarchy Audio and Bobby Palkovic of Merlin. Both are very helpful, generous and kind gentleman.
I have only been to one dealer who hasn't treated me like crap, and that is Progressive Audio in Columbus, OH. Everyone there seems to be very kind and knowledgeable.
