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!

Recently saw Revel auditioned at the Rocky Mountain audio show and was very impressed.

The performance to price ratio is more inline, without all the uber high end pricing craziness. They sounded great matched with a Levinson integrated amp.

As Displayname posted, expanding portfolio with different brands increases sales without the fear of the main company dominating the market in perception. Food companies have been buying out the natural/organic brands to change image and increase sales without spending the initial build up and R&D. General Mills bought Cascadian Farms and Muir Glen. Kellogg's bough Kashi and Gardenburger, Coca Cola bought Honest Tea, Hansen's/BlueSky, and Zico Coconut Water. Hormel bought Applegate Farms. Seems large electronics companies are just doing the same as the food companies.

I went ahead and purchased the F35s (in black) as a pathway to better ones (the BE floorstanders are on the radar and others I'm waiting to hear).  
Does anyone have an idea of breakin time needed?  
Do you face them toed-in or not?
How far do you recommend placing them from back wall?
Any preferred electronics? (I'm using Rega Brio RT, Transparent cable).
Thanks!

forgot to add ---- has anyone tried the GAIA III floor discs?  I haven't setup the spikes yet, just using the rubber feet.
