A pictorial history:- Purité Audio's twentieth anniversary this year, sadly my plan for world Hi-FI retail domination have not come to fruition but:- It has been an interesting journey and allowed me to hear almost every interesting loudspeaker available.

Manufacturer/Distributor/Retailer. Traditionally the margin to the distributor was around 60%, 40% for the retailer the remaining 20% for the distributor.
