What happened to Exact Power

DM, I actually have a bit more cred than the average Audiophile, but I think Mr. Schluter wants to meet as a result of several emails I sent urging him to rethink his marketing strategy. After all, he's a businessman, not a philanthropist ;-)

His company is in NJ, but he has property north of Tucson, where I live, so we agreed to get together when he next came to town. The EP is a unique device, and I feel that someone should continue to develop it, and keep it on the market.

I think if MAP could figure out how to produce the EP15A at a price point at least 25% less, the unit would be a better business opportunity. I recall that this piece sold new for about $2k. Personally, I wouldn't pay that much for this unit, or any other AC conditioning/regenerating device for that matter.

Yeah, I had a hunch you had some juice to get that meeting, Nsgarch ;0)

"as a result of several emails I sent urging him to rethink his marketing strategy. After all, he's a businessman, not a philanthropist ;-)"

I have a good friend from college who started a t-shirt company out of a public storage space and the back of his car. It's a $60 million a tear skateboard/snowboard clothing line w/ 4 different brands.

He said an old ultra-successful business told him early on "If you find customers asking you over and over again for a product, and you don't offer it, then you need to seriously rethink your business plan"

DM, I agree with that (last) advice, and hope many of you will take a minute to express your enthusiasm -- hopefully before Aug 13th ;-)

OK. I had a fun and productive meeting today w/ Bob Schluter, and was informed that he is ready to begin repairing EP-15A's, on a case by case basis after determining what will be required to fix your unit. He wants to review further details with me to give to everyone, so please don't write them for repair authorization numbers just yet. I will keep you posted; it will only be a week or so.

Yes, there will be an EP-20A in the near future (probably next year.) Besides higher capacity, utilizing the same patented waveform analysis and feed-forward correction amplifier, it will also include a new, patented, turn-on/memory-turn-off protection circuits designed to eliminate the in-rush current problems sometimes suffered by the EP-15A's.

Stay tuned.
