Good points, Bruce


can you reduce it all down to questions this simple?

(1) as the prices of flat panel TVs fell, the dealer margins fell with it....AND the additional units sold didn't come close to making up the dollars. When you consider that Video is >55% of most dealers' business, it makes for a very very difficult situation. What's the answer? In the past it's been to sell more high margin audio, but :::

(2) As music purchases continue to increase via downloads and decrease via CD sales, we'll see a tougher and tougher market for the independent high-end audio specialist. What products will be appealing to the download generation?

are there any statistics for "unpaid" downloads?
