:O thats interesting, I would never have guessed UM and AAW are 'partners'. Locals dropped UM because of the multiple complaints of voiding in the shells.
Null Audio was one of the first to carry Rooth as a line, so their partnership grew from there.
would it be fair to say that Unique Melody only suffered public backlash because of the regional distributor woes that plagued them near the climax of their career? because I have audtioned the UM mentor and it certainly deserves a spot in the TOTL shootouts. Great resemblance to the K10 except for the mid-bass region.
No, because regional distributors' woes directly stemmed from UM's irresponsible behavior, awarding anyone and everyone with distribution deals. Plus, the big thing was that they insisted on using their 3D printer right away (presumably to recoup costs), but they couldn't get the quality right, and that backed up their entire production line for weeks. 4-6 weeks turned into 8-12 weeks for turnaround. All these troubles are on UM. The distributors contributed to the mess, but they didn't cause it in the first place.
