For any of you HiFi guys... i am in the high end side of the retail and i just found out ML is now sold at Costco.... considering that ML is now owned by Ichiban Corp (the same company that own DENON) i think that their quality is going to majorly diminsh.... what do you guys think??? I mean come on.... 12,995 speakers for $7,995 so much for dealer profit! The are cutting out their dealers! i am glad i dropped them when i did!
