A high-end headphone store might work, as many headphones are not discounted online. Display your headphones on a long wall and keep a demo table front and center but don't create a lounge atmosphere where people might be tempted to sit for too long. Consider selling some audio-related furniture, but keep lounge chairs away from the headphone alley.Try showcasing a small line of high-quality loudspeakers and electronics in a mini-theater at the back of the store. Make sure to keep a vinyl rig on display, along with a nice selection of vinyl. Keep minimal stock on loudspeaker-related stuff, and don't display anything that you wouldn't mind keeping for yourself.
The store should never be dead quiet - always have music emanating from this darkened and mysterious room at the back of the store.
Always make sure the store looks pristine, yet inviting. You want to appear friendly and you want to attract attention, but you don't want "undesirables" to feel comfortable venturing much past the front counter.
Tough balancing act here. Good luck!
