Many years ago when I was in the business, Peter was the national sales manager for Cary Audio. I was the first west coast Cary dealer and Peter was great to work with. At that time, he was also the importer of AudioVector speakers, little known in the US, however they are very good speakers. I would also recommend Echo Audio in my town, Portland, OR. The Music Room in Colorado, and Audio Connection in NJ.

Well that is certainly not true. When I was in the business, I had a good working relationship with 2 other local dealers. If a customer came in wanting something I didn't carry, I would send him up the street or I would get the item from one of the other dealers to satisfy them. We all did that because we wanted the customer to keep coming back and tell their friends.
