As per title, I recently sold my Marantz Pearl as I wanted to physically downsize my system. However I would like a C.D. transport (half size) and really fancied a Bel Canto CD2.
On their website they state: We regret to announce the CD2 is no longer in production due to the discontinuation of the Philips CD-Pro2M drive. Please contact your dealer for stock or Bel Canto for more information.
I contacted a few dealers both here in the Netherlands, Germany and the U.K. In all cases I was quoted the full retail price even though most dealers only had one left in stock. I would expect this, of course, as an opening gambit but when I asked if there was any discount, as the player was discontinued, I either got no reply or was re-quoted the full price.
Although I would still like a CD2 Im not comfortable paying the full price when a player is discontinued. Am I being unreasonable here? Expect a few one word yes answers but would like to see how other folk see this.
Thanks.
