Thanks Charles.
Your comments on dealer margins kind of confirms why I was seeing huge discounts on certain brands. It became fairly well known that no one paid anywhere near MSRP for those particular brands and huge discounts were not only normal but expected. I think it also hurt brand value. It appears that some of these companies tried to fix that problem. Some started selling direct from their website along with maintaining their dealer network. Dealer discounts seemed to also tighten up.
I'm obviously not an industry insider, just an observer, and the two brands that come to mind are PS Audio and Cary. I'm sure there are others.... or maybe I'm just hallucinating. ;-)
P.S. Pass Labs is another one with huge MSRP but no one pays those prices, yet for some reason Pass has not hurt their brand. But again this is just based on gut feel with nothing to back it up. I'm not sure about Ayre. The Ayre brand doesn't seem to be over distributed but I'm just rambling. ;-)
