Yes kiddies the last large specialty retailer supplier has crossed over to the "Dark Side" What a great way to start the weekend.

There is no such thing as free installation!

how/why did they lose the Tweeter account?

I wonder how they will cope with Crutchfield's return policy. Many manufacturers dislike the amount of non-defective "defective" returns they get when someone like Wal-Mart starts selling their stuff...

It's always a good plan to screw the people who help you become successful. It's all about making the big buck, the great American dream.

When the independants are gone, they will be happy cause their next.

when/where was this info released?

Will Crutchfield carry JL Home Audio as well? Installation parts?

Wow, at least they didn't go to Best Buy. Not that this is much better!

Ya know.....not being a fan, nor ever selling JL.....I really don't care! Good for them, I hope it makes them a billion dollars. Then they can go suck like all the others that have felt the need to be able to be purchased by anyone... to kick their faithful specialty shops in the nuts. You know... the little guys that made them what the WERE (not are) today. Screw em.

Damn, a little bitter? But I see exactly where you are coming from.

I am disappointed to hear this, not necessarily becasue I am a JL fan boy but (although they make some fine products), it's just another nail in the coffin for this industry.

Now folks like tcss are going to suffer. The small brick and mortars. Shame.

IF they stick to MAP pricing how will dealers suffer? Saving sales tax will be replaced by freight and you will have to wait to get it...IF(and notice I keep saying IF) they are forced to stick to MAP pricing I don't see this as a problem for legit JL dealers,,,My rep let me know that JL assured him that Crutchfield would be held to staying at MAP pricing,,,now if they go below that then repricussions will be in order,,,until then I'm not worried about it at all,,,
