Pick any one of those . . . can't have both.
You rely on the manufacturer to replace dealers you'll get a centralized location much like airport hubs. If you live where I do, your closet "showroom" is likely to be a 4-hour round-trip visit.
I've been a JBL owner for over 60-years and their current distribution under Samsung ownership means I can't find a place to audition any current reference speaker system. Sure, I can buy all the wireless headphones I want at Best Buy, but show me where to go to see a pair of DD67000 speakers. That's what you're going to end up with if dealers don't exist or can't make a living. What you want is better dealers. I don't think you really want no dealers. I want peace in Ukraine, too, but I don't want Putin running the country.

Let’s be real. You can’t “try a car out” to the extent you actually need unless you are leasing. No one is really going to figure out the small stuff that will bug them in the long run or the driving dynamics between 8/10 and 10/10.
