Anyone seen their favorite High End store close?

Without the new products for the home theater revolution, many, MANY more high-end stores would have closed by now.

Salon 1 Audio in Wisconsin Rapids. Lots of hi end products and great people to to have fun talking with. Even my wife enjoyed visiting the place. They would let trusted customers take a component home to audition. Really miss them.

Hi, ALTHOUGH they were NOT HI END stores,
I DO miss the Pacific Stereo, Highland Superstore,
Fretter, Silo, Music Craft`s here in the Chicago
South suburbs! ALL we have now is
The Little Guys, and Music In Motion,
AND the salesmen are NOT nice,
UNLESS you`re spending $4000+ on a system!

the new younger generation is not interested in high end gear...the older that love it, losing their hearing, losing their paychecks, or just losing interst because of the music , i continue to enjoy, but our high end stores have gone 100,000.00 two channel, or home theatre. then the others opening, want you to give them your money to order something that don't stock and you can't hear. it's dying fast. being that i like hearing different equipment over the years, i have gone to this site. signs of the times...dwhitt

Dwhitt,
You nailed it. the company that bought Nicholsons is doing complete home automation and will be by appointment only.
