I think I’m out of touch but how long has Monitor Audio been selling at Best Buy? [Link: bestbuy.ca]

You should note that isn't actually Best Buy selling them. That is Best Buy's online market place and it is a 3rd party seller selling them.
You will not find any of those 3rd party sellers items in a Best Buy store.
This is the same as Amazon 3rd party sellers.
Same as Walmart online market place, 3rd party sellers.
And many other companies that have opened 'market places' to their online stores, allowing 3rd party sellers.
Off topic:
Personally I can not understand how the justice department is having so much trouble going after the hosts of these 3rd parties. When they sell knockoffs, counterfeits, stolen, altered, or otherwise unlawful products. You host it, your responsible for the content... period. Yet another case of big corporate America, having the government in their back pocket. It's not illegal if you have enough money!

I wouldn't be surprised if they did- I used to work at Magnolia when Best Buy bought them, and we carried Monitor Audio...and I'm pretty sure I remember that the "Magnolia in a Best Buy" things had Monitor Audio when they first started that experiment.

In the link for the 3rd party reseller, the name of the company is KBC store. Looks like it’s the Canadian distributor Kevro selling the product. If this is so, way to support your CI dealers. [Link: bestbuy.ca]Looking at the list of authorized online retailers, this KBC company isn’t listed. Hmmmm.... [Link: monitoraudio.com]

A lot of "high end" brands have been in Best Buy since the Magnolia acquisition. At various times I've seen Vienna Acoustics, KEF, Definitive Technology and others in their brick and mortar locations at least 10 years ago. This is really nothing new.
