You own a store, you sell 2 brands, which?


Thought experiment:

You run a store which sells used and new gear from any point in history.  The catch is you can have exactly 2 brands.  One of electronics one of speakers. 

Defunct brands are OK as are those current with long histories. 

What brands are they?

Why not Panasonic?

Ralph, I'm going to make up my own rules. All of the brand's components must have the same name on the front. So no Panasonic and Technics. Unless you drop the Rega stuff...... 

RCA would be one. They were the Microsoft in days past.

Donald Trump has been known to command $1.5 million on the speaker circuit. He could hang around in the shop in the used section. And that’s all I have to say about that brand.
Why not Panasonic, then you get the Technics line too.
And also Harmon Kardon, since you get JBL with that...

As a store owner what is my motivation? Make as much money as possible or cater to a small segment of anal audiophiles with great expectations and a small wallet?

Haha exactly.

+1 Bose and Sony

Appointment only, out of the home, two dedicated rooms, Vandersteen and Brinkmann, only because ARC doesn’t have a TT,

Lyra for cartridges 

Right now it’s an unintentional not for profit……

Audio Note (because you would have a full range of source, amplification and speakers)

Western Electric (some of the very best speaker components and great amplifiers)
Pretty easy decision here.  I'd be in on Sonos before they went public and Beats before selling to Apple for $3B.
SET brand amplifiers
and WBer speaker brand only 8 inchers.
Nothing else in my store. You want anything other than, Go look elsewhere......
Rega and Technics if I could carry ALL of their audio models

Both brands have complete lines, including CD/Digital, turntables, amplifiers and speakers. They have options at all price levels, from moderate to premium to expensive.
