I know it is not like me; but I agree. Having attended a lot of RMAF shows, my shop was in Denver, I will tell you this, when reviewers go into rooms they are just there to hear either the speakers or the electronics specifically. They make small mention of seller, in my case a retail shop and would just focus on manufactures. When you look at the show reports it is common to have one reviewer listen to electronics over or under 10K or speakers over or under 30K etc. All the attention is on the manufactures. Consumers are left to figure it out..
