NO way, no how!
Hmmmm... *ponders the recommendation of using two Yamaha slim-fit subwoofers*... could it be that AH sells this little subwoofer?
Just curious, will RBH allow AH to sell their products here?
RBH is VERY strict about stopping online sales, they shut down E-Bay's grey market resellers quickly too. No big box outlets either and only a handful of retailers, their business model is designed to sell to and protect margins of custom installers. With the exception of Audioholics, most people are incapable of properly representing the product line, the margins get dragged into the dirt, as so many others have found in their greed to sell volume.
It results in a market where retailers and installers won't touch it anymore because they aren't competitive and yet provide all the service and support.
Why would an installer quote a product that is sold online at 6pts margin, then THEY get called if there are problems?
With RBH architectiural speakers and volume controls, that is a full 25 year warranty!!
