My former hi-fi dealer (now closed/retired) preferred the sound of higher-end gear, but had little luck moving it in this town. The big Acoustats, Martin Logans, and B&W 801 Matrixes just sat around forever. So he focused over the years on decent-sounding "econo" brands like Paradigm, Boston, and Infinity. I recall he did OK for awhile on some of the smaller Maggies.
Since you're trying to carve your niche as a "quality with value" dealer, you should maybe try to audition models and lines that have received great recent press (good for advertising) and have MSRPs within the reach of "on a budget" audiophiles. As a dealer, you can look at the wholesale prices and decide which offer you a sufficient profit margin.
