Ever had a manufacturer refuse to sell you gear?

[June Norris]

I contacted my sales rep at Full Compass looking for some Martin FP-4s to use as a front fill, and refused to fulfill the order because I'm not using their DSP. They initially said they would sell them with no warranty, then backtracked and just said "no".

Looks like I won't be considering their gear any longer.

Has anyone run into that before? Thoughts on a replacement option in a similar size and quality with an NL-4 input?

Similar boxes include
* d+b E4 and E5
* L'Acoustics 5XT
* Danley Cube (also the Nano, but that is too small to fit an NL4)
* EAW MKC50
* Fulcrum RX5

Note, however, that like the Martin FP series, most of these options are system boxes that are intended for use with manufacturer-provided processing.
