There's two things we don't have around here: Frye's and
a discount good quality hifi place.


Did I mention snooty hifi stores with the likes of
Bang and Olafson and other 'good taste' stuff?


If Best Buy can put something on the shelf besides
the usual Yamaha and Sony and Pioneer and go to
Denon and Nakamichi at good rates, I'm willing but
not necessarily ready to pick up a box and go.


I like local stores that sell computer building parts
too but their margins on sales are just too high.
Online sites have links to match the right right parts
and there are numerous construction tips. So I'd
like a Fryes' around here to fill that middle ground.

If they use a small area where people can go to drool and then sell them a lower priced system the high end draw will attract a new group of customers. If they have people talking about "the system at BB" the free advertising is good. They lose the image of just selling out of date boxes at clearing house prices. Image, presence, and increased mid range sales could all be goals of a high end presence. It could also add that "unique quality" that seperates BB from the competitors. I would say this is a marketing ploy as much as an income generator.

It will be interesting to how much high end is actually in the store, and how much is something they are willing to order if you request it.

Time for the coffee now.

Grant.
