Michael's Hi-Fi Audio & Tweaks Adventures Hello Michael, I think you are not understanding the situation correctly. Harmonia Distribution is the new Fyne Importer. Harmonia has hired a very experience manager to run the import division. For this reason, there will be greater support for dealers, not less. This person is a 30+ year veteran in the audio industry and this is the time (when Harmonia is waiting for it's first significant delivery of Fyne loudspeakers from the factory) to start to approach new and older Fyne dealers to see the interest level of every dealer. Harmonia has very little stock (if any) to sell to dealers at this point. If a previous Fyne dealer has a couple of pairs on the floor, that dealer needs to add a few models to properly reflect the lineup (Fyne is a large speaker line) just as they would if the discussion was about Focal or B&W. Please realize that Harmonia wants dealers who commit to show a certain number of models. Fyne UK does not know what stock a US dealer has on display and it will take a few weeks for Harmonia to check out who the active dealers are going to be. I think dealers will be impressed with the service, stock level, marketing and support of Harmonia with Fyne Audio in the near future. I mean really, how much marketing was done in the USA in the past 5 years? How many trade shows (during the covid years) have been done? Not so many. I think this issue will be discussed in the next 12 months and Fyne will become more visible in the US market. Don't believe everything a dealer tells you about the direction he thinks a brand is going. Please give the new folks 12 months to develop how they will grow the entire network of dealers. It is my belief Harmonia wants a committed dealer network for Fyne Audio, otherwise, why bother.
