In Reply to: TAS and manufacturers who sell by direct posted by bwkendall on May 17, 2004 at 19:18:15:
and without high end retailers, there would be no high end audio. Personally, I first discovered TAS and high end audio at a retailer (Havens and Hardesty in So. CA in 1975 - the same Hardesty that now write "Audio Perfectionist"). Where do you think people are discovering high end audio today - on the internet? Reviewing a speaker that is sold direct is like biting the hand that feeds them. After all, Stereophile won't review a product unless it is sold by at least 5 retailers.
