"Gang,
First Lance did not pay retail for these amplifiers. He received a great deal on a couple of year old demo pair of amplifiers from ST. Celia Sound Galleries in Clearwater, FL. These are coming up on their 5th anniversary come April."First, I have no idea why this information has relevance. I posted the retail purchase price of $6,000 for my PF Wavelength Gemini amplifiers to protect the no-discount pricing integrity of the manufacturer. Now the manufacturer wants to make an issue of what I actually paid. Alright (not that anybody really gives a rats arse). The dealer mentioned above brought several amplifiers to my home for auditioning. I decided to purchase the Gemini's because they dramatically outperformed the two 845 based set amplifiers. Brian offered me a deal on these amplifiers as a professional coutesy. I had been a hi end audio dealer in the Tampa area for a number of years. I then checked Mr, Rankin's site and realized that my units did not have hum pots on the back as the current models did. I contacted The dealer who ,only then, varified there demo status. I called Mr. Rankin who informed me that they were indeed models that he put together in 2001 but that he would offer his full manufacturers warranty. So, I decided to keep them, and had been enjoying them for just around a year. They were actually 3 year old demos when I purchased them as new.
As an audio dealer for eight years, I was never once confronted with a manufacturer who questioned honoring warranties on (not previously sold) demo units. If that were the case, then no dealer would ever open a single box for floor demonstrations. I am however convinved that Brian from Sound Gallery felt that I was aware of the Gemini's demo status. He is a very reputable dealer and a good guy from whom I have purchased many products since the purcase of my Wavelength Gemini's.Sorry about the temporary divergence. Back to the subject at hand.
Lance A.
