Serge I agree with some of your points but for me I don’t need a place like so ho Mcintosh World. In fact I would rather get a deal that is fair to both parties. Every luxury product from watches to expensive photography equipment to cars etc has a upgrade path . Except for the recent post from Metphacts I never heard of such a thing in hi end audio so there is no reason often for customers to go back to the store. Combine less traffic with low profit margins and you have a going out of buisness problem. The online dealers that sell music and equipment have customers coming back for the music atleast that is until hi res streaming is available. I’m not sure what the answer is but it is a sad state our hobby is in.
