Revel vs. Aerial vs. B&W

Thats right. Nothing beats Revel speakers, we know, we know.

Hi Ritteri,

I own Revel studios and was curious what the dealer mark-up is? Any idea what it is on B + W?

Thanks,

J.

J: Markup on Revel's were 50 points. B&W's were also 50 points(but I know they have some independant deals where a retailer is moving ALOT of their product, they will get an even better deal or incentives of some kind) as is most companies. But a few mfg's like Aerial and Wilson go as high as 60-65 points. Basically the lowest markup you will find on a Speaker is 50 points.

Boston Acoustics had a deal with Tweeter where markup was as high as 70 points on certain products when I was working there awhile back. Employees were able to get accomadation cost at 75% off retail.

My $.02:

Open up your search. There are a lot of good speakers out there in your price range, so I'd test as many of the following speakers as I could:

Vandersteen - 5A
Avalon - Eidalon
Von Schweikert - vr7
Burmester - B99
Avantegarde - Duo
GMA - C-3
Verity - Parcifal
SoundLab - M-1
Joseph Audio - Pearl
Meadowlark - Blue Heron 2
Talon - Firebird or Khorus
VMPS - Elixir
Dali - Megaline or Euphonia
Fischer & Fischer - SL 1000
Gryphon Audio - Cantata
German Physiks - Loreley
Donald North Audio - Sequence

Happy shopping and let us know what you decide on.

But what about flat women?????? That's the more interesting question.
