I have a friend who's husband is a best buy manager, and he tells me high end is coming to Best Buy. I forget which brands, but they were some of the big, established high-end approved brands. What I think that means is that a lot of high end manufacturers will sell a lot more stuff, become more successful, more people will have access to equipment they never heard of and get better systems, and the audiophiles will proclaim "Martin Logan is the new Bose" (I actually think there is some truth to this - both product lines have, to my ear, a similar upper mid range prominence). I'm sure we'll find some way to turn this into bad news, just to keep our status as superior high-end snobs
