Alan,

Micromega have not had a great time in UK, what with various distributors
and a generally poor record for both reliability and repairs, so currently
it's no surprise that no UK distributor wants to touch them.

Most UK dealers have had trouble selling off their remaining stock (even at
high discount), so the fact is that most products have seen their value drop
steadily with time. The last distributor was based in Walton on Thames but
went bust about 3-4 years ago, being left with a lot of faulty NEW stock,
which they couldn't sell or get fixed.

So, the sad fact is that IF it works OK now, then it might not carry on
working well. And if it doesn't work well now, the chances of getting it
fixed is remote. So, customers will not want to pay a lot for a brand that
has had such a chequered history.

(I know of one dealer who sent one item back to France and it came back
UNREPAIRED after Micromega had charged them carriage and for the repair
work).

Best of luck,

Thomas
