RE: Some Brief Observations.....

"6. Speaking of home theater, it's seemingly falling out of favor."

Pretty interesting. A couple weekends ago I went to a local high end salon with a friend that's shopping for some speakers for an audio-only rig. The last time I was in that store (probably 10 years ago), there were no 2 channel setups at all -- every segregated listening room was home theater. This time? 2 of the 5 rooms were 2 channel only (!), and 1 of the five had home theater equipment, but was set up for 2 channel when I visited.

As well, 10 years ago they had a lone turntable on display in the main lobby. Not operational, didn't even have a cartridge installed. This time? Both the 2-channel rooms had an operational 'table as well as a couple more set up and ready to play in each room. I didn't even think to take any LP's with me...

What's old is new?
