We do have something like this, it's called Best Buy...
It is too bad, but honestly, where would they put it?So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

About the only US location something like that would work would be in New York. Singapore serves as a gateway to trading in Asia and gets people from all over the world visiting for business. Lots of money in a very densely populated and very expensive commercial city there. I have a cousin who's been living there and doing construction related business in Singapore and China for the last couple decades.

I dunno man, you put a place like that in NY, the prices would be sky high to reflect the costs of retail space in NY.
You'd have to go just on the outskirts of a major city. However, they'd probably go bankrupt in no time as we Americans in general have lost our desires for good quality sound. Plus most here would never spend that kind of coin on audio, we're poor on the disposable income side of things. Higher end audio is a niche market here in the states.
Singapore, and the Asian market is a hot bed these days for higher end audio. America, not so much, unless you consider audio from your Echo dot hi-fi.HT SYSTEM-

I was forward deployed to Singapore for 6 months, while I never went to that specific mall, there are many just like it with 50-100 electronics stores, many of which are hifi based. Singapore is a really crazy place with lots of money flying around2 Channel in my home attic/bar/man cave

That was really quite the treat! It reminded me of the "few" stores I went to years ago which helped me get into the whole "home" audio addiction. I watched practically the whole thing but didn't see any stores offering Polk Audio, weird, maybe they aren't popular overseas as much?Remember, when you're running from something, you're running to something...-me

Wow, I breezed through the video after his introduction and LOVED seeing those stores!
Almost the way things here were years ago when the malls were happening places. Not so much audio but thriving economies. I need to go visit our mall and see what it looks like now.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
