Maybe I think like an European, but here it is normal that a shop owner gets a profit margin from a sold item. Big shops have a better negotiation position then small ones, and can buy cheaper.
Point is, that if a distributor wants at least a certain margin and a seller negotiates very sharp then there is no deal at all. And if: on top of that, you must pay for space on a forum with 20 posts/year then maybe it is an idea to talk to each other and find a modus where you both have a profitable business.
Last but not least: these tariffs must be paid by someone, if for instance a distributor in the chain loses here, this might have consequences in the availability of certain audio brands we all like.
I will say this.
Wklie has been very helpful to me and many others regarding Lumin set up and performance issues.
Not sure of the real rational behind his removal from this forum, but it is a mistake.

the mistakes are all on their US Distributor. And as I said, no problems with Wklie or any of the great folks at Lumin HK. They know what they need to do.I will say this.

Thank you! I have offered. I have a staff of 10. You don’t think we wouldn’t rock the brand?Lumin should have Mike as their new US distributor.
