Should 'Audiophile' Brands Be Sold In Electronics Mega-Stores?

[filecat13]

Actually, the Torrance location's the only full sized Magnolia store in California I know of that has closed since the BB stores began appearing. All of the Bay Area locations have remained open.

That's good for the Bay Area, but the reality is that BB closed six Magnolia Stores in August and September 2007:

Arden Fair CA, Clackamas OR, Colma CA, Silverdale WA, Tacoma WA, and Torrance CA.

BB closed another store prior to those six, leaving it with 13 standalone stores, the same number--though not the same stores--as when it first bought the small chain.

During that time period, BB opened 30 in-store Magnolia Home Theater sections in "flagship" locations.
