A thread on Audiophile Style mentioned that PSAudio will be factory direct only in a month. Of course, there were no links or sources. Just curious if this is true? [image] PS Audio - remove dealer model? PS Audio going factory direct starting next month?

In current internet model - consumer has taken on more responsibility on defective units. We are responsible for everything if you think about that. Manufacturers have become more involved in the debugging process with a mostly uninformed consumer on electronics issues. So you can see a possible in…

My all-in-one audio system is designed around a global collect and return program. A streamer upgrade was included in my purchase. It was done in 3 weeks door to door including shipping overseas. It can be done, but it needs to be part of an overall service business model.

As an overseas and previously a US customer don’t underestimate the impact this will have in the overseas market. The direction set in the US will have immediate impact on the decision these retailers make today. Changes made in the US and not reflected globally will hurt global sales while pricin…

Yep. Those prices are in line with the quotes and purchases I have received/made when working with dealers (I’ve seen cheaper actually). I fear the new model will make the high MSRP with the occasional 10% sale, the defacto pricing model. Just like Apple. This will shut out a lot of the younger “new…

I’m with you. Retail of entire system $58K, paid $38K. Markups are substantial; pay retail, you’re getting gouged, big time.

There are a lot of choices out there when it comes to high-end Audio. I will always do my research and eventually find the best bang for the buck product available, also taking into consideration the company behind the product. In the last year, those products happened to come from PSA, which I pur…

This will be an interesting change for PSA. I hope it works out well and I always wondered about the retail price vs getting almost half off at a dealer 12 miles from PSA HQ. This will be a hard “level set”. There is one really good positive for me. I had to sell my PSA separates a year or so ago.…

BHK 300 pricing, considering the quality it offers, is more than fair, even at retail. The fact that they can be had for substantially less makes them a true bargain in the current “high end” marketplace.

For the money… I would rather have the Luxman M-900u stereo amp vs the BHK 300. May be one of the best amps for the money made today… And it’s specs,looks and build quality are over the top. http://www.luxman.com/product/detail.php?id=19 And ,by the way,when first introduced a few years back the …

The actual reason that Luxman’s US MSRP was significantly reduced across the line a couple of years ago was due to a decision to setup and manage their own distribution. By setting up Luxman US and thereby eliminating a level in their distribution chain they were able to reduce prices by ~25% on muc…
