Not blaming AVAD....AVAD is their own beast. Yes it is the manufacturers fault. When we see most of these manufacturers send their product to some of these disty's (and AVAD will sell to anyone with a heart beat) and big box stores...we either loose them or the product quality really drops.

One point with AVAD's sales......we install for a wearhouse funiture company who gets all their audio, security, and camera equipment from AVAD. It is for their own companies personal use they do not resale. It is what it is....and we charge for our labor, we don't deal with any warranty's, and everything is a service call for anything we didn't provide.
