I'm stunned, partly because I have used links to their website dozens (hundreds) of time, and now those links are not going to work. It seems a shame.

Well, I've not bought anything from them as I've had my system for years. But clearly for other people, those things are a real concern.I'm stunned that with liveliehoods threatened, creditors not being paid, and possible warranty issues for customers, the thing that seems to bother you most is your links not working.

What astounds me is people who have the nerve to visit a hi-fi dealers, take top their time and their expertise auditioning kit and asking for advice (not to mention their overheads from rent, etc.), and then boldly walk away to purchase off the internet just to save themselves some money.
This is nothing new, and nothing to do with the internet. In the early 1980s I worked for a dealer that had stuff on display that we could demo, could repair on-site, and call a cab for customers without transport. Many people came in and auditioned stuff, then went to Comet wherehouse to buy the same kit for a saving of about one quid for every hundred.
I buy mostly from Sevenoaks and Richer Sounds via their websites then go an pick the items up if they are available at my local stores. It helps that my local SSAV and RS are practically next door to each other and both have reasonable customer parking.I've bought the majority of my kit from AudioT. I've been rewarded as a loyal customer with regular discounts or free quality speaker cable. I'm also lucky in having a Richer Sounds and Sevenoaks within easy driving distance.
It's a shame the high street stores are closing and a lot of the blame does lie with local or central government. When my wife had her studio the business rates were a killer.
