I found a Revel dealer advertising open box specials on the F208, F206, M105 and M106. Looks to me like they are getting rid of their demos.

I don't think so. They sell all revel models. Only list prices on clearance and open box. Must call for best price. Pretty aggressive outfit. They are survivors among the few.

They do not market for shipping. You have to call to have item shipped. I think they have pretty lucrative market in Austin.

I wondered this also when I noticed a lack/shortage of these speakers in white finish. How long has the Concerto2 line been out? Could this be the hand of Samsung at work? Harmon Kardon now sells headphones & bluetooth speakers and such, no A/V electronics.

Is it only one dealer? More than one would be more indicative. Just one could be down to problems with inventory financing or some other one-off problem.

Wow, now I really kind of regret buying new speakers 7 months ago...

I have to wonder if Samsung Rot is setting in at Harman. But then, Haman Kardon was once owned by Beatrice Foods? I heard that long ago.
Could be very wrong there.

The lack of white finish is demand. You can find them at the other online authorized dealers when Crutchfield is out.

For what it's worth, I recently bought the demo pair from a local dealer. The dealer did not bring in another pair for replacement.
supply and demand. Come on. This site and others like it is a small world. Give Samsung some credit. Profit from Revel isn't Evan a knat on a windshield.

I don't agree. Samsung is leaving Revel alone. Thank God a deep pocket keeps audiophile game going for normal folk.
