Disaster with Drews Audio in Germany

Posted by Stitch on September 6, 2011 at 01:05:31:
The Odyssey RCM is based on a improved Keith Monks Design with superior German Parts. Mr. Drews was a Keith Monks Importer in Germany in the 90's (I think). some years ago Keith Monks passed away and none of these RCM were available. Loricraft copied the nozzle System plus one or the other Germany DIY guy but Mr. Drews improved that Design commercially and sold it as Odyssey. It is a well know unit in Germany and a very serious unit. The cleaning result of this machine is unsurpassed, the very best.

It was obvious that Importers or Dealers outside Germany were interested in the Odyssey. I think (I don't know it) their mark ups made the unit more or less unsellable (no one can survive with selling 5 machines per year...). To satisfy all sides he had 2 choices, to sell direct (not easy) or to make the unit cheaper with lousy parts (in comparison) and to hide that with marketing (like all others do).
Well, seems, he is down. Very sad to hear that he even cheated customers and lying to them( He always wanted to have some prepay, so Aaron & friends made nothing wrong (as far as I can comment that). There is no excusion for it. It is criminal. I hope, that you will get back some money, but I have some doubts (empty pockets). It is ok that you write in a Forum how disappointed and angry you are and to protect others for same "experience". All my hope is with you and your friends. Very sad for you enthusiasts who wanted something better than the usual audiophile stuff...
