Most of the best upscale AV operations are surviving through their custom installation depts...but even the CI channel has felt an adjustment due to the iPod. And as companies like Niveus become more of a factor there will be yet another shift...Custom installers can make that shift because they can turn on a dime. Circuit City can't.also ::: The Magnolia division of BB has the ambition and the bankroll to address CI, but I think it will be very difficult. For some reason I think that no matter how successful Magnolia becomes, they won't affect the best custom installers in the least....but they will have an affect on high end B&M retail..
