1. The economy needs to improve.
2. Follow the home theater model: put good systems together for beginners and market system synergy rather than individual components.
3. Follow the Japanese model: Have manufacturers sell equipment direct to consumers at close to cost in order to create demand.
4. When people attend concerts, they do not close their eyes during the performance. Generate source material that gives the full concert experience - audio and visual. The human element is missing.
5. Develop an R2D2 (Star Wars style) that can project holographic images of performers playing music in your living room, especially Jazz.
6. Dealers should have AT LEAST as much used equipment in their showroom as new. Put the Audiogon bargains in the dealer showrooms so people can audition equipment they can afford. Have dealers showcase used equipment rather than let it sit on dusty shelves.
7. Get rid of this silly "exlusive dealer" idea. Dealer showrooms lack variety and the practice does NOT succeed in limiting competition. People have no basis for comparison and no choice so they walk out without buying anything. Haven't any of these people been to business school? People buy when they are given choice; not when their choices are restricted.
