Whatever happened to Audio Physic? Cardeus ?

That's why its important to stick with name brands...Audio Research, Ayre, Vandersteen, VPI, Wilson, etc.,etc.

Audio Physic is still somewhat popular in Europe, I believe. Buy name brands? What brand doesn't have a name? Anyway...

I own a pair of Yara Evolution Bookshelves. Easily the best speaker I've heard in it's range. I could say the same for the other models I've heard. Their downfall is their US distributor IMO. When seeking my speakers for an audition, I e-mailed them several times. After about the 4th email, they finally responded with 2 dealers. I found about 4 more in my area within a few months (I live about 20 min outside of NYC). Due to problems with the idiot dealer who demoed them for me, I bought mine here on the 'Gon. One of the tabs on a grill snapped. I e-mailed about buying a new one a few times to no response. I called and was told that person is on vacation, and no one else could help me.

Their distributor is a joke. Not to mention, have you seen any pro reviews or ads lately? Shouldn't the distributor be pushing that too?

If the had a distributor with half a brain, APs would probably have a very good presence. The speakers are way too good to have these clowns involved with them IMO.

This has been an issue in the " hi-end " for decades, very few dealers /hi-fi shops are worth while and very little know anything about what they are doing.

Bad demo's, poor attitude and a lack of apathy towards their customers is the norm. Fortunately as the market continues to shrink only the very best will survive.

I can't wait ....
