Been about two years or so since they vacated.
Rumor has it that Ralph was paying on a monthly basis and the landlord offered a lease he thought excessive, believing that others would too. Punch line is the landlord found Audio Concepts as a new tenant and they now occupy the space.
I've also heard that the Boston store was perhaps no longer necessary given all the online sales they now make and that the lease story is not true.
In any event, they're gone from Boston. It's a shame for Bostonians - I really like Ralph, and his employees too. They carried good brands, were knowledgeable and generous with home demos and dealer discounts.
But Audio Concepts is solid, and one of the good guys from Spearit, named Chris, is still there. More of a HT installation oriented business model, but they do have nice high end sound room and also permit home auditions and give dealer discounts on certain things (albeit more modest ones).
