Press Release: Audiophile Systems, American Audio and Video Reach Distribution Agreement
Audiophile Systems will continue to handle Arcam service and product support and installation issues.
Jul. 15, 2008 —Indianapolis, Ind. --
Audiophile Systems of Indianapolis, IN, announced that effective July 7th, 2008, the distribution of Arcam products in the United States will be assumed by American Audio and Video, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Music and Sound.
Audiophile Systems will work closely with American Audio and Video to ensure a seamless transition for Arcam dealers. Audiophile Systems will continue to handle Arcam service as well as product support and installation issues from Indianapolis. Orders will be shipped from the American Audio and Video warehouse in Plattsburgh, New York.
One of the leading US distributors of high performance audio products for more than thirty years, Audiophile Systems was founded by Tony Gregory and the late Gary Warzin. The Company sells products for a select group of high end audio manufacturers, including Burmester, Cambre, dCS, Nordost, Nottingham and Piega and provides award-winning service and support to a specialist dealer network.
As Tony Gregory, President of Audiophile Systems, commented, “When we pioneered the U.S. marketing of Arcam in 1996, it was a very small manufacturer of superb audio products, well established in Britain and Europe, but still quite small and relatively unknown in the US. This changed dramatically in the years that followed, as Arcam has become an established, well-known brand in the U.S., with a large specialist dealer network.”
He acknowledged “Arcam now needs a partner whose business model is better tailored to a much larger market and dealer network, as well as to a product range that will grow larger and more varied. With this expanded dealer network, and a vastly diversified Arcam product range, we have recognized that the goals and aims of American Audio and Video are better suited to delivering the kind of services that Arcam will require.”
Tony Gregory continued: “Arcam is a terrific company with an exceptional product line that has yet to realize its true potential in this market and we are confident that this relationship will benefit all of Arcam’s U.S. dealers. At the same time, this arrangement will allow Audiophile Systems to focus on the things it has always done exceptionally well, and for which it earned its reputation. “
