Am I reading this correctly? Best Buy a McIntosh dealer? Tell me it ain't so. I remember when getting a dealership had so many conditions, a potential dealer had to be primarily a Mc store and the unspoken agreement was if certain brands were carried the dealership was pulled. They did not their product in say a store that sold primarily Panasonic or Yorx.

My local Best Buy has recently opened two nicely set up demonstration rooms with McIntosh, B&W, Sonus Faber, Classe, and a few other delux brands set up in systems for audition. One of the rooms has B&W 802D and Sonus Faber Aida speakers set up for comparison, driven by huge McIntosh monoblocks. Also set up is an array of top line front end products. Not cheap stuff. Oh, by the way, no discounts from MSRP. Where is the best buy here? There is a small audio dealer in town who has carried B&W products for years. He runs one of two quality audio shops left in business, out of the five that used to operate in my small city/college town. I'll bet he feels stabbed in the back.
If your Best Buy is like the one near me, he shouldn't have to worry. I walked around the Mac and other gear at the store and the salesman standing around didn't say a word to me.

Dave,
I've experienced the same treatment in the Magnolia section of our local Best Buy store on several occasions in the past. Seems like the "sales people" in Magnolia don't want to be bothered. I've been told by an employee that these guys do not get paid on a commission basis! If that's true I wonder why?
On the other hand the sales staff in the major appliance department of the same store are all over me if I start looking around in their section.
Interesting!
Cheers,
Al
When I was in audio, we helped everyone who walked in the store. I welcomed tire kickers. They often wound up buying. I loved it when someone would say, "I probably can't here the difference".

Yes, their Magnolia section has McIntosh. I posted a tread in the General Asylum about it.
