Today, i found out that my little area of San Diego...La Jolla, is now blessed with not one..BUT two(2) high end audio salons!!!
Many of us are now familiar with the excellent store that our good friend Alex Asiufy opened up called Alma Audio. Alex chose my home town of La Jolla to open- and the rest is as they say history.
Now, I hear that a new player is in town--- Deja Vu audio West. An extension of Deja Vu audio. Deja Vu West has opened in the heart of the village of La Jolla and is selling new and used gear.
I am a little astounded that there are now two high end stores within a few miles of each other!
Could this be a trend...More brick and mortar stores? More brick and mortar high end audio stores? If so, I certainly wish them all the best of luck and am very pleased that they both chose my little town
to open their stores in.
Is this a new trend...are we going to be lucky enough to see more brave soles open high-end audio stores around the country.....! I, for one, certainly hope so, but how risky is this? Moreover, can these
same stores compete with the on-line presence that has been such a heavy influence on the consumer...high end and otherwise.
Here's to the both of you guys..
