More potential bad news for some big names...

@mahgister Good for you. 

By the way my Sansui and My AKG K340 were top of the world product 35 years ago and it is enough for me especially because i was even able to improve them...

Any reference to some "supreme being" in the context of this particular president-elect is ironic and absurd.  We are mere mortals and often,  all too often, as the Bard reflected, fools.  

I’m sorry the Cleveland area doesn’t have more hifi shops. It’s not necessarily due to a lack of demand but because of internet sellers like Crutchfield, Audio Advisor and others. And where I live, in SE Michigan there are 4 brick and mortar dealers plus 2 in Ann Arbor, one that has a national presence. A friend of mine who sadly passed earlier this year had a successful shop in Kalamazoo which still exists. 

@krelldog In Los Angeles and on-line, I've sold several higher end pieces to young men and couples in their late 20's and 30's.  I sold an EAR 890, EAR Acute, Synergistic Research Atmosphere XL, SR cables, Bryston BIT-20, etc. all to younger people.  It has been more difficult to sell currently available used high end gear even at 40% of list price.  So, there are buyers but at big discounts.
