It's the power and control over access. Seems like they made enough $$$ being the F&*^%$% A$$&%!@$ it sounds like they were.
My dealer was exactly the opposite and his shop showed it. From the outside you would have no idea there were hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment inside. The outside was an old house next to a Subway, a 7 Eleven, and a fast food fish and chips place. Later on he moved into a strip mall, I never got around to visiting that place. And he really could've cared less if you bought something or just wanted to listen, just don't be a nimrod! You did of course have to tolerate his opining, and his opinions, and the occasional cigar smoke, the latter is what limited my appearances, couldn't stand it!

the place I used to go was so inviting, Personalized Audio. Later they created Melos and I learned an awful lot there first hand.
Yes, Personalized Audio in Dunellen, NJ. The two nicest folks one could ever meet, George Bischoff and Mark Porzilli, who together later founded Melos and had a hand in other audio companies still later as well.
May 23 will mark five years since George's passing. He was a great friend and I miss him very much.
I was invited there once by George Bishoff to hear a prototype speaker he had developed that utilized Strathern ribbons for the midrange and tweeters. The place struck me as a hangout where local audiophiles gathered and I had a very nice evening listening to the speakers and meeting some of the people hanging out. George was a gracious host. I will always remember his response when I introduced my fiancee: "Why are you getting married? Audiophiles usually get divorced...." Luckily for my wallet (and marriage) I lived too far away to hang out there.
I remember those prototype speakers. They were extremely impressive. As I recall, they never went into production due to reliability issues with the drivers.
Funny that you should mention his joke about audiophiles, marriage, and divorce, because he attended our wedding--27 years ago. Possibly George was our good-luck charm.
