Lightbulb PS Audio terminates all Dealers in the USA

Effective 9/1/19 PS Audio will terminate all Dealers in the USA. Going forward, they will only sell Factory direct pretty much at full retail.

Discounts moving forward will be a thing of the past. I can still sell (as other dealers can) PS Audio at amazing AA discounted prices, for the next 2 weeks, so move quickly if you have an interest in anything they offer.

Sorry, no layaways.

I don’t get it. I would never pay MSRP for PSA.

Well, they do have a big online following, but I can’t believe their products wouldn’t be better served through a consistent dealer network. They don’t want to be thought of as Emotiva. Interesting move and surprising.

Might work for the Steller gear but are people really willing to drop BHK money without seeing or hearing the equipment in real life first?
