In Reply to: RE: Lowther America anyone know what happened posted by FlyCast on May 11, 2016 at 11:39:52
I spoke with John before he shut down. Apparently Lowther U.K. was selling direct to US customers bypassing Lowther America.
Retail is tough. It does not make sense to sell a product the manufacturer will also sell directly to your customers. It does place a big question mark on the value of a distributorship.

A darn shame, really.I bought my Alerions from Jon years back when the DX55s were the high end of the DX line. I likely would not have known when Lowther came out with the DX65s had Jon not contacted me and advised on Lowther's trade-in upgrade policy.
For a very reasonable price Jon installed the DX65s. A wonderfully satisfying experience that could never have been duplicated working direct with the factory in the UK.

Jon did a great deal of service to bringing Lowther to attention in the US, from his excellent customer support, helpful pre-sales assistance and having information about enclosures/plans as well as demonstrating Lowthers at audio shows. Very sad to hear about this development.
That would account for no longer caring about the consumer and only about the money.

Manufacturers should not be allowed to sell below MSRP to be fair to the dealers.

Jon sold me my Lowther Medallions many years ago. Though I was a customer he always treated me as a friend. The presence of Lowther in America is do to him. Lowther should be boycotted. Jon, if you are reading this I am really sorry that Lowther has treated you like this. I know how much you loved selling there speakers. Take care
