I live in a area of 1.5 million within driving distance of another area of 9 plus million..
Still i say no way could I EVER have gone and listened "to all the styles and brands we wanted"
Maybe many brands.. but most of the stores carry the same brands,, with a few variations.
So I STILL say I never found the wide amazing variety over my 47 year career as an audiophile.
And half the time the place with the speakers would not give you the time of day let alone allow a good in store audition
