That's the other great thing about Bay Audio... They only sell to custom installers. My company does not even maintain a showroom. They work with each dealer on a very personal basis and set up a business plan that is tailor made. Freight is put on top of the speaker price so exporting would not be a problem.
We've found that in searching for the products we sell that the best ones are high quality, non internet distributed lines. You can hold a better margin with stuff that is not over distributed and as long as you are providing quality products... the trust between your clients and yourself is what makes the sale.
Nothing against any of the brands you mentioned (we've used them all). We now spec Bay Audio exclusively and it's been a very good vendor relationship. They'll even put you up in San Diego for training.
The first time I heard Midnight Oil's "Beds Are Burning"... I thought the "45 Degrees" meant he was cold... silly me. Shame about Pete leaving the band, eh?
