In Reply to: RE: SEVEN YEARS AGO the North American importer had an unworkable business model and tragically underpriced... posted by Bob Neill on August 12, 2009 at 14:26:59:
Bob: Sounds like we pretty much agree on the Harbeths, lots of respect but little love. Hey, two people agree on something on an audio forum! Apparently lots of folks find complete satisfaction with Harbeths and I think that's great. There is no universal audio.
On carrying and selling international gear, you would know more than me. My assumption is that duty/customs, shipping and extra distributor costs make it less competitive than American gear from the outset. Not to mention after sale costs (service, warranty, etc.). I consider Blue Circle (which I carry) basically an American enterprise as there is no distributor and extra shipping/duty costs are negligible. Plus, it's pretty close by.
I'm not opposed to foreign equipment, I've owned a ton of it, but I feel there are advantages for retailers and consumers to strongly consider "buying American."
