But I hope you're wrong...

The dealers exist now to pedal high-profit items like audiophile cables and install work in high-buck homes. That sort of thing.I haven't walked out the door with a product from a brick/mortar dealer in about 25 years. For me, I have no use for that type of transaction.
There's no value-added when transacting through a dealer.

You're so spot on Davey. My local dealer that I purchased my 20.7's from wanted me to pay a additional $200 bucks to have them setup them up. This is after a $150 delivery fee. But then want to complain when folks use there stores as showrooms to try before they buy online or out of market. Definitely not what it use to be but I must admit there is some really good dealers out there. But again when you find one you should cherish them.
Hmm, it seems that the owner's plan to offer free local delivery and provide help
with set up at no charge may be a quaint notion out of touch with current dealer mentality.
That service used to be standard practice at Maggie dealers!
Well, if you're a small audio shop in the middle of nowhere in Canada, that no-charge setup model might work. But probably not.....at least not for very long. :)
The ultimate way to market and sell Magnepan products is via an existing owner audition program, with some sort of incentive for the demonstration owner.
But, currently, we have a company that can't even come close to meeting demand for their products. So, it's probably moot.
