Sonos never needed reps. I always wondered why a product that sells its self; has under ten skus and has a less then one percent failure rate ever needed them.

Reps never poached us as an industry, we collectively came to them.

However, just like their "commitment" to us at cedia that turned into anything but this is just another shift away from our industry. I would not be surprised that in the coming months the changes to the dealer program mean you have todo over 50k in product and have a showroom to be direct. The writing is on the wall.

Ever sense the integration debacle I have been actively testing other products....why after almost 20 years not a single company can even make a product comparable to Sonos is truely baffling to me.

This industry sucks, the manufactures suck and I feel like this industry is a train without a conductor heading off a very large cliff.
