Suggestions for Product Lines

[MMats4life]

If all goes well I may have a very nice new location soon. This is going to be a HIGH end shop only. I will have access to almost anything i want. Just wondering what suggestions you guys have for lines to carry.
here is what im thinking
JL Audio
Alpine
Pioneer Premier
Kenwood Excelon
Focal
Some Clarion
Pyramid

ID... We need more ID dealers.

Adire.

ED will do storefront sales, just not online sales through dealers. Contact Alaska (edsignsSPL I think he goes by here)

Offer supersubs within more price ranges.

Oh, Pyramid is not High end dude

the pyramid was a joke
ID is a good possibility... the smaller companies may not fly too good in this area... this type of clientel isnt looking for the best deal... they just want good products and good installs.
Once everything is up and running then i may grap some other things to experiment like ED.

none of those brands listed are HIGH end


Arc
Brax
Helix
Rainbow
Zapco
Xtant
etc are HIGH end

JL is DEFINATLY not, I would not even sell them -- they only have a 90day/1year warranty

[MMats4life]

JL Audio products are warrantied against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of Ninety (90) Days from the original date of purchase.

Warranty coverage is extended if the product is installed by an Authorized JL Audio Dealer OR the system design and installation integrity are evaluated and approved by an Authorized JL Audio Dealer (in writing on the original sales receipt).

The available warranty coverage extension varies by product category, as follows:
Subwoofer Drivers: One (1) Year
Evolution™ Speaker Systems: One (1) Year
Enclosed Subwoofer Systems (incl. Stealthbox™): Two (2) Years
Amplifiers: Two (2) Years

All warranty service requires original sales receipt documentation.

----I know your such a JL fan ... sont like the warantee policy.

Yea, i'd consider JL a good company, but i believe Michael's list really embodies my definition of "high end equipment."

You'll have a very hard time getting Brax/Helix, i believe they're a little snobby with who they allow to sell their equipment. I'd look into getting Tru Technology though. They're getting big very quickly, and a few people have rated the C7 from their Copper Series above some of the Brax amps in terms of features and sound and everything else they consider.

If it were going to be my shop, I'd probably carry:

ID
Rainbow
Tru
Zapco
Phoenix Gold
Autotek
JL or Focal

Gotta have lines to meet up with everyone's budget.

Oh and Seth, i don't know if i told you but there's actually and ID dealer up here where i'm going to school. I'm waiting for the MAX 10's to come and then i'm gonna see if he's willing to let me audition one in the car.

errr, Sinfoni?

As far as top notch amps go, Arc, Zapco, and PG ti are all high end and they have mainstream brand name awareness. When spending a lot of money on a product, name recognition does hold some weight. The aformentioned companies all have name recognition as well as respect by "high end" customers. In fact, PG's entire Titanium/Titanium Elite line, comps, amps, subs, etc. would be a great addition. You could probably throw in Dynaudio, too. Or maybe put together a DIY set using Madisound/PartsExpress drivers. Show customers "high end comps" without the "high end price".
