Hi everyone:

I am new to the forum, and have read some of your previous threads with great interest (and laughter).

Anyway, I currently run a Resi A/V integration firm mostly doing high end theatres and Crestron control systems. We have an office only, and most of our sales are through local architects and contractors. Even though we have our share of mass merchants in the market(i.e. Best Buy and Circuit City), I still feel that we may be missing some business from the "disenfranchised Best Buy customer."

Can any of you give your input on opening a shop, and if I'm missing out on business that I should be reaching for our type of higher end systems? Or am I just asking to work more hours (as if 80-100 a week weren't enough)?

Thanks in advance,

S-Bend
