rbach sorry you feel that way but the reality is our company has way more experience with most of the products that are being discussed here then many people on these boards.
Our line list it very wide and most of the time if a product is hot we are going to pursue getting it if we feel that the addition of that line is going to be beneficial.
Our business model provides for a low overhead which enables us to funnel more money into product acccquisitions than many of the large stores we compete with.
We also go to most of the other audio shows around the country and get a chance to listen to a huge variety of gear.
Also we have over 30 years of experience in designing both music and home theater systems.
Rbach very rarely do we PM anybody, however, you are correct that we do chime in on conversations that we have products that we may feel may be of interest to the poster, we can not write in every forum post there just isn't enough time.
As per talking about products that we don't sell, perhaps the reason we don't sell them is that we feel that the products we currently have are better or may offer similar perfromance for less money.
We sell over 60 brands of gear we have lines we don't endorse we perfer Kef over B&W, we don't like Mcintosh gear, nor Dagastino, don't love Vandersteen, we make our biases well known and there are reasons why we don't carry these brands:
Mcintosh uses Automformers which are unnecssary with a solid state amplfier and limit transparency, don't like Dagastino too expensive for the sound quality and you are paying a lot for the styling, Vandersteen sounds too rolled off for most models, we can go on an on, Magico tends to sound a bit on the boring side to us etc, etc.
Rbach most dealers believe the products they sell are better for a reason we have a ton of great everything, we don't force or endorse any one line more than any other, if you come to our shop we would recommend Paradigm, or Kef, or Legacy or possibly Alta audio or Vimberg for our best loudspeakers.
However, for applications like theater the KEF line is one of our best recommendations as the dual concentric tweeter provides a true point source and the slight flared design on the cone provides a wide dispersion capablity that most loudspeakers lack.
Rbach we have a superb track record of assisting clients all over the country some people have directly purchased from us while others have not, but have still been thrilled with the products and advise.
We have extolled the sound quality of the Micromega line and have talked with several clients that purchased the M100 or M150 and have loved the piece, we have sold not a single one to anyone on these boards.
The fact is that there are tons of people with opinions we have the direct experience, product knowledge and product selection to be able to make a rationale discussion on to the merits and to the pros and cons of most of the products on the market.
