I'm not attempting to defend but just consider an alternate viewpoint:
No MSRP pricing (because dealers would gripe about not being able to dictate price?)
No MSRP because they want inquiries to generate leads.
- Too much use of renderings (because they don't have enough margins to hire a photographer?)
Maybe they want to spend the money elsewhere. Maybe they don't have the time to arrange photos. Maybe they haven't built the goods yet.
- Indecipherable model names (because who doesn't love studying their product catalog for the sake of coding, the sending of signals that you're "in the know", in hopes of receiving an acknowledgment that you possess advantage?)
Indecipherable names because engineers are running the show.
- For a company with a reputation for engineering, why counter it with questionable products such as power conditioners? (or for that matter, 4-figure DAC's, headphone amps, and phono pre-amps)
I know very well there is a market for this stuff.
- testimonials from dealers (I can't make this stuff up)
I wish I had testimonials from my "dealers". They do nothing but complain so they can get price concessions.
