what dealers are saying
“Demos are way up — but the people walking in already know more than they did two years ago. They want comparisons, not pitches.”
“Streaming-first systems outsold turntables three to one this quarter. We are still doing analog setups, but the mix has shifted hard.”
“Headphone stuff continues to print. Two-channel is steady. Home-theater is the surprise — people are spending real money on the room itself.”
