I agree Jim Austin. I have noticed two trends (at least in my area). Either a dealer has only megabuck items on display, where I cannot audition the entry level hi end gear (say ARC - LS17,SP17, VS60, as opposed to Ref equipment on display hooked to Wilson and B&W)- or the other dealers have downsized drastically and have only minimal gear on display.
Much of it Home Theater or Audio gear that is a small step up from Best Buy.
I think the Audio Mags are doing the best they can with the changing times of Audio (computer, downloads etc...) However if I never heard the names of Magico, YG, Soulution, Baalabo, Focal (upper priced) and other high end Megabuck speakers and equipment it would not bother me in the least bit.
