Audiovault is where these days.....

Not to start a bash against a shop or any one person but after a couple of phone calls to which there was no reply one must wonder......

The new owner of A&B Sound (Seanix computers) is attempting to break as many ties with the former owner as possible. The interesting part of this is that the former owner of A&B Sound still owns all the property that the stores are on. That way, he is still receiving the lease/rent payments from all the stores & I believe that the new owner feels that these are inflated. I heard from my Winnipeg rep that at least one of the Winnipeg stores was being billed $41,000/month.
It's also happening out here too with the Surrey store moving to Delta. I would think there's more to come.
