Any Rotel Dealer suggestions in Texas?

Yes I most certainly can recommend a dealer in Texas.

Josh Oebel
Home Theater Store
3030 East Southlake Blvd.
Southlake, Texas 76092
(817) 748-HDTV

Southlake is about 5 min. west of the airport off highway 121. Really easy to get to.

Josh sold me my RSP-1066/RMB-1095 combo and is a pleasure to work with. He's the type of dealer to go out of his way (WAY out of his way) to do what it right for the customer. I drove him nutz when I first found a specific bug in the Rotel software (that has subsequently been fixed). Josh was always pleasant and easy to work with.

I can honestly say that I like him personally and respect him professionally.

Welcome the HTG! Apparently the home of Rotel, lol.

Good questions. I would guess with no local dealer, Rotel could be sold to you mail order, but that's only a guess. They are VERY stringent on their dealer plans. If you find Rotel mail order, you can better believe it's not an authorized dealer. So beware. Rotel will not honor warranties on these units. I don't think.

Generally, I like a Mom and Pop type store myself, seem to give better overall service to me. Not just a number there. My locally owned hi-fi store seems that way anyway. The chains, you always seem so small in the grand scheme of things.

As far as I know The Home Theater Store is the only place in Texas that sells Rotel.

The one in Austin will deal a bit. It's only an hour away from San Antonio.

No, there are most definately others that sell in Texas (at least in the Dallas / Fort Worth metroplex). I know of one in particular that does, however, I will not recommend them because of the way they treated one of my friends over the sale of a used Rega P25.

I got mine here in Houston at the Home Theater Store (Near Willowbrook Mall) and the salesman, Marty Dubinski, was very friendly and willing to deal. Problem is, I'm not very good at dealmaking so I ended up paying $1350.

There are a number of Rotel dealers in Texas. You can go to the Rotel website (www.Rotel.com) type in the various area codes around you and they will give you the dealers in those areas.

I know there are dealers in Houston, Austin, Dallas, Ft. Worth, and Texarkana and I'm sure there are more. Hillcrest Hi Fi, in Dallas, used to be a Rotel dealer until Tweeter bought them out - then Rotel, and B&W terminated them.

Also, you can call their Texas representative - Dobbs/Stanford Corp., in Dallas, (214) 358-0800, and they can inform you of dealer locations.

Lex is right, by the way, Rotel does not authorize ANY internet sales. If you do find Rotel on the internet, it will be from a non-authorized dealer, and you do not get the five year Rotel warranty.

10% off list price is a pretty standard discount. Most times you just have to ask.
