OK here it goes,
You walk into a store where Polk lives,and the salesman knows everything about polk, history,performance, spec's, what mates well and what don't.He tends to YOUR need's like "sir what kind of music do you listen to","do you plan on theater and music in the same room?","Would you like tohave music all over your house with easy control from every room?","Would you like me to design you a system that would fit your budget,needs?",How about a 2 channel setup not connected or connected to the main system?","did you know that you can buy 1 CD player and use it all over the house?"
these are just the beginning of what could be.You could go into the store and have a smile on your face when you leave, a place where you can get facts not made up I think so's.
These store's have Installer's who know there product's and can help you even further over and above the salesman,help you further down the road for future upgrades.Talk to you about controling all this maddness you just bought.
Control is another big factor if not the biggest factor in a system.What about factory trained employee's ????
This may seem like a dream store and your thinking that this store don't exist!!!RIGHT??
But it will, and with or without polk,this is what more and more people at all level's are going to enjoy.You don't need ton's of cash to build a system of your dream's.If it is spec'd out correctly,you would be suprised in the value.
HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD RATHER SHOP IN A PLACE LIKE THIS THEN WHAT YOU ARE DOING NOW????
i WOULD LIKE TO KNOW!!

    Those are the places I frequent. Of course if I'm feeling like a good laugh I'll stop by CC or BB's speaker department. One of these days I'll take a trip down to Soundex. The place looks pimpin'.

    You forgot to include a few details in this scenario. Are the prices and deals as good as CC or will I pay more than 10% more? Will I ever see 60% off list on an open box? If I get the speakers home and someone touches the tweeters or pokes a hole in them can I take it back and get a full refund? If the overall price is higher than CC then will I still have the option of going around the corner to get a lower price at a CC or would they still carry them as well?
