Evil Emperor
Taller Than Stalin
I've been told by a number of Richer staff that it is happening and soon.
I've heard a long term friend and Naim dealer complain about it too and that Dougie Graham is denying it.
Interesting times.
Well, why not?
Richer Sounds is more dynamic, more sales oriented and less staffed by rude, socially inept, incompetent, snaggletoothed extras from The Wicker Man than most UK hi-fi shops. I think it would be a good thing. The only downside might be the army of equally socially inept, snaggletoothed extras from The Wicker Man that constitute Naim's fan base might get scared having to speak to people who are different to them.
I doubt Richer would take anything apart from the UnitiQute, because their business model precludes big money equipment. It may also be a trade-off to get more Focal speakers in store (whether that's Richer or Naim doing the trading, who knows?).
But this is speculation on speculation. We'll see it when and if it happens. Until then it's idle gossip.
