Underwood Hifi / Underwood Wally...


I sometimes receive e-mail blasts from this seller/retailer.  This online retailer seem to handle many brands of various audio components, some with some name recognition, some with none.  All products are advertised with screaming discounts and cable giveaways (is this a red flag?). 

Some of the brands like GAS and LSA, seem to go back quite some years.  I am trying to understand how this business works and whether it is reputable for selling solid gear.  Or is this like some retailers that buy up old defunct trademarks then sources gear from cheap contract suppliers that make stuff at low cost, cutting corners with quality?

Would appreciate any insight or customer experiences.  There are a number of items that could be of interest to me as I upgrade my two channel system but I can't help but be somewhat wary.

I guess his 100% Positive Feedback score of 13,584 is not sufficient data to answer your question?

Walter is a great resource.  I’m very happy with my LSA-10 speakers. My sense is his business model is based on selling (or owning) product lines he personally views as solid, and cutting retailing, advertising and, for some products, manufacturing costs to provide excellent value.  
Plus 1 on Wally. Give him a call. You will hear the waves crashing from his home in Hawaii. Good dude
