Anyone seen their favorite High End store close?

I have lived in Nashville, TN for most of the last 30 years,
I discovered Nicholson's HiFi in the early 70's. My system is half pro gear and half high end audio. most of the high end gear came from Nicholsons and we don't have another store anything like that in town. I guess I will have to buy my high end stuff from you guys, and thats OK, but I will miss sitting in a demo room for 2 or 3 hours with Lee (sales manager) auditioning various CD players or tables. Any thoughts ?

The closing of Nicholsons is a loss for Nashville. When I lived there I was a consistant customer and even kept in touch with Lee when I moved to North Dakota. I will miss seeing him on my visits to Nashville.

Without the new products for the home theater revolution, many, MANY more high-end stores would have closed by now.

Salon 1 Audio in Wisconsin Rapids. Lots of hi end products and great people to to have fun talking with. Even my wife enjoyed visiting the place. They would let trusted customers take a component home to audition. Really miss them.

Hi, ALTHOUGH they were NOT HI END stores,
I DO miss the Pacific Stereo, Highland Superstore,
Fretter, Silo, Music Craft`s here in the Chicago
South suburbs! ALL we have now is
The Little Guys, and Music In Motion,
AND the salesmen are NOT nice,
UNLESS you`re spending $4000+ on a system!
