Confused by Klipsch sales on net and ebay etc...

[tom67]

...Klipsch and other audio makers make it appear like they strongly discourage purchase of their products from the net and other resellers.They disclaim a warranty items sold that way.Why then do they obviously sell these same vendors large quantities of the product at substantial discounts that permit these sellers to undercut their brick and mortar retailers by 35%? Obviously there are fair trade laws that prevent manufacturers from refusing to sell to one source or another, but Klipch or others could charge the suggested retail price which would effectively put an end to sales by anyone but their dealers.The net dealers obviously have constant availablity of most recent products which tells me they are not simply dealing with overstocks from regular dealers.All this brings up one final question...why doesnt Klipsch (and others yamaha etc) simply sell direct to the public on the internet or open regional outlet stores like Ralph Lauren etal.
