I am in St. Louis, we actually did ok, sold 12, then Pioneer on low end, Arcam, in middle, PS Audio Plus several other things. Over all the real question is just why did we close? I had a partner, whe became less and less connected with the business, until I was doing it alone.... That can only last so long. The company was healthy enough that I pulled my investment money only out of the company, droe to the state capital and signed my interest over to my partner. Years ago, I was a CMC Stereo Store manager, after that I was doing custom speaker work, then went to work for SpeakerCraft/Marcof electronics, I later was a rep for several 12v companies, plus Sumo (at their end) Jamo, Straight Wire, PS Audio, Museatex/Meitner plus a few others. My own store was called "Sounds Right"
