Polk LSi at frys too... but everyone still drools over the Bose...

I have seen electrostats at BB and some good Polks at Frys, but neither store carries 2 channel amp/integrated/receivers beyond Denon and onkyo. (I have never seen the new denon and onkyo integrateds there though)
However... just a couple years ago the best these stores had was Bose's latest disaster.
I think the situation is improving quite a bit on the mass consumer front. Hell... The 2 channel integrated amp has gone mainstream with onkyo, denon, and yamaha all having several, and there are more 2 channel receivers available now than a few years ago, and I have seen several turntables for sale at all the stores where a few years ago most consumers just assumed vinyl was dead.
I think the average consumer today has a much better variety of audio options that don't totally suck balls.
I also get strange comments when people find out how much I have put into 2 channel... "You mean it doesn't even have surroundsound?!?!"
