General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

So ya I too got the "large card" mailer which told me that if I became a "in home" demo rep that I would receive $2k per speaker pair sold. I'm going to look a bit further into this simply because I'm curious. I do know that my audio equipment would do just fine driving a set of Wilsons, yes it is that good. The heart of the system is a KRELL FPD-200, my other components are Krell as well. I simply can't help but wonder how these payout and performance ratings can be legit. The two (as far as I know) audio companies who have actually developed solid equipment and a solid sales market without brick and mortar shops are OPPO and EMOTIVA. The thing is though they spell out their entire business/sales strategy on the first page of both their websites, and they are brilliant. OPPO is now held in such high regard that I can't think of an Audiophile mag they haven't been mentioned in for well over a year. EMOTIVA's a bit behind them.
So why BSI? the only "official" sit I found for them, well lets just say lacked the source material one would expect form a company selling speakers that cost as much as a Civic.. Where are these prices coming from and if they are as good as claimed I should be able to demo them on my own for at least 30 day without dime one being charged me. They mention Scan Speak drivers, without question they are fantastic, but the finest drivers on the planet aren't going to sing as they should without a high quality "dead cabinet" and crossover network. Them simply mentioning a notable capacitor as being part of their crossover doesn't quite cut it for me. I also would ask about the cabinets construction. $1000.00 cars should have the paint job fitting of their cost. These are speakers, I don't need them to be Lotus yellow, I need them to have the flawless finish they promise. I will and am going to through my hat in the ring to become a private "dealer" I do hope they can deliver...
