John, I don't think that what the BA rep said is factual. If you take a look at this review of the D&M(Denon, Marantz, Boston Acoustics, etc.)first half fiscal 2006 results and scroll down to the discussion of activities you'll note a mention of a "strategic relationship" with Best Buy to have Denon S Series systems sold through Best Buy. Nothing as to any ownership factor.
