The future is factory direct or internet sales hardly any stores left.

Been around over 12 years. No basement or garage work. Not just one man. To me the future is factory direct or internet marketing. Brick and mortar shops are dropping like flies. Ones left play it safe with name brands and little stock. When you purchase they order it online for you. Not trying to devalue the service a real store can offer but the ones I frequent are moving to HT or big name brands like B&W. Though I did convince my local shop to offer Ayre [your welcome]if I wanted to buy I would have to order it. So where are start ups or small manufacturing to go to sell product? Online is where. Demos will take place at audio shows or in home. Every year more people change to online shopping this is only going to grow. Why limit ones sales to fixed stores that's such dated thinking.
