Just idle thinking - I enjoy going to all three types of stores. All three types seem to thrive in NYC. But which is the most profitable?

People who shop at Audiophile stores are more likely to have a higher income as well so bigger ticket items would be easier to sell. The day I went to buy my Arcam integrated at Sound by Singer their were people there shopping for a $10,000 plasma TV. |
