If massdrop brought some of the lower tier speakers from ascend they would sell better. Even the cbm-170se are special speakers for the price. I have a pair of the 170's and they are better than the Monitor Audio Silver 1s I had. So @Massdrop bring the 170's, 340's or even sierra 1's and more people should buy in.

Problem with this for MD is that our pricing is for direct sales, there is no retail markup, thus very little room for MD to make any $$$ with our lower priced goods. We would certainly be open to discussion, but when MD first contacted us regarding trying a drop, they wanted a product that was high enough in price so that they could at least make a few bucks. For example, offering a 10% discount on a bulk purchase of Sierra-2 pairs is quite a bit different than a 10 or even 15% discount on our 170's, which might net them a profit of only a few dollars per pair.
MD distribution works well with goods that have a retail markup, but since I am a fan of what they are doing, we are open to running drops with them when they contact us.

AscendAcThat makes sense. I have the cbm-170se's and they are remarkably good, I sold my monitor audio silvers after I bought the 170's on eBay. Thanks and keep up the excellent work over there!

We have an absurdly low profit margin on our towers (USA made bamboo cabinets, custom RAAL 70-20.. etc.) - and we run nearly a constant backorder on them. We have never even had a sale on them, and at the current retail price we offer - we simply can't, which also means we could never offer them to MD. Like any company, MD is interested in offering products where they can make a few bucks. In all honestly, the prices on our towers must be increased....
