I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but, back in the day, annually around January or February you could count on some pretty big discounts at B&M storefronts on audio gear. Maybe it's for lack of competition or due to internet sales, but those deals seem to have disappeared over the last five years or so. Whenever I go looking around, the prices always seem to be the same, winter, spring, summer or fall. Or maybe this is regional???

which is a euphemism for a local store where you can walk in and see the merchandise, in a building which may, or may not, be made of "bricks" held together by "mortar."

In Canada, we have the big Boxing Day (Dec 26) sales still... but as for a long term seasonal shift in pricing, that doesn't seem to happen.
And just for public information, a buddy of mine was working for a major electronics retailer over the holidays (>>) and mentioned that Home Theatre was the Holy Grail for sales guys. Bigger markups on all the HT stuff than the appliances, computers and consumer electronics - means more haggle room for consumers, though.
