Last time I did that, I left with an Oak Phonic kit that I hadn't planned on (or budgeted) buying... :o

Don't get me wrong, I'm VERY happy I did so - I'm loving that kit!! 8-)

's funny, I saw the pic and I'm immediately thinking "That's Mike's shop!", before I even checked the ad... :lol:

THIS is a perfect example of what frustrates me about the KHS America Sonor/Mapex approach as a distributor. If they still had a tiered dealer level system and you HAD to have a GOOD showing of Sonor on the sales floor for the best dealer pricing, then there would be a number of dealerships across the country that would tempt you every time you walk in. Sonor NEEDS "dangerous" dealer representation, in my opinion.

And even if I am wrong, and KHSA is happy with the Sonor sales numbers, and Sonor in Germany is happy with the Sonor sales numbers, then still as a consumer, I would appreciate being able to walk in somewhere within a 4 or 5 hour drive and SEE and HEAR for myself a good representation of the Sonor product line. and I BET I wouldn't walk out empty handed too often!
