Where is the value? Why would I drive to a dealer, not hear a piece of gear, have them make profit off me for literally doing nothing other than pushing paper, then I have to drive back to pick the gear up? Versus calling up an online dealer, getting a price, saying OK, then having the box arrive at my door? This isn't to take away from Mc dealers who do provide value like in home demos and such. It just rubs me the wrong way when dealers want to make money when they do zero work.

Mcintosh doesn't car about US sales and is shows. They really don't care. US sales numbers are down, less dealers also. It's about sales abroad, I have heard this from multiple people who have credibility .
