Then again, how often do most people buy new speakers? Should we just go in and talk with the dealer between purchases so they don't forget who we are. Seems silly to me. . .
We used to have two B&W dealers locally. But one lost his lease, and the owner was getting older, so he decided to close up shop. Too bad, he was the good one. I'm left with a dealer I don't really like much. Maybe I need to work harder to develop a relationship with them. . . I don't think so, their sales staff seems to turn over fairly frequently, and I have no idea who the owner is (I don't think he/she works the floor).
Some people are lucky and have good local dealers. Others are not so lucky.
I'm glad that B&W does not allow internet sales just because I think you should listen to speakers before buying them. It is hard to run a small shop and compete on price with a warehouse. We need local shops, so that is who I support.
