This is a good read. We don't have any "High End" shops up in these parts per say. We have the Butcher Shop's (Future Shop), A&B, Visions etc and in about a week Best Buy will be opening up. None of these are what I would deem high end by a long shot. We do have a few mid fi joints that carry some exotic brands but they to carry the run of the mill stuff also. Most of the high end guys up here work out of there houses which is very nice and a laid back environment. Krell, McIntosh, Dyna are just a few of the brands that can be had out of some dude's basement.

This sounds odd but to me at least, this is the way it should be.
