[QUOTE="1am7h30n3, post: 672391, member: 13860"] I think perceived brand value is lowered by selling through channels such as Takealot. Also, with high-end audio, you need to audition before you buy, so much of audio is down to personal tastes that one needs to listen and determine if the product is right for you vs just reading a glowing review and assuming it will work for your ears. This is where a seller like Takealot can never compete with an actual shop. Another thing to consider is service and advice that a specialist shop can offer which Takealot just can't, they sell too many products to have expert knowledge in any of them, particularly specialist items like high-end audio.
