    Sure, as long as the sales guy is able to sell the product without employing the sock-it-to-'em tactics that Best Buy, Circuit City use to appeal to the masses....

    Um, I just stepped in big pile of contradiction there, didn't I?

    Hmmm, I've found the salesmen in boutique shops to employ frustatingly stupid tactics as well....

    Also, I probably should have mentioned in my initial post that a few brands already do this... such as Martin Logan and Klipsch (which maybe why Klipsch doesn't seem to get much respect for their Synergy and reference ranges)...
