Going on from my little conversationette with AEjim about dealer locations. The SE is meant to be one of the most affluent areas of the country, yet a fairly significant number of hi-fi manufactuers have by-passed the area: AE Acoustics (0), ATC (1)*, Exposure (1), Dali (0), Thorens (0), Leema (1), Harmon Karden (0), Astintrew (0), Totem (1)**, Creek (1)*, Primare (0)... sure there are many more, just seems puzzling.

** Only stock Arro
These are all based within a 30 mile radius of north Surrey.
What Hi-Fi commented in the awards edition - comparing to EBs: " ...if you're shopping on your local high street, the ATC SCM11 speakers remain the best..."
You're more likely to trip over one of the Queen's Corgis than find an ATC dealer in a local high street.
