I haven’t had that experience here in ATL. It’s actually been very supportive and educational. Even today, I went to Best Buy in Alpharetta and was blown away by the remodeling of the store and the new rooms they had for A/B testing as well as the customer service from the employee handling the section.

Still get CDs, Vinyl, and Blu-Ray, but pretty selective about it. Typically for music, it’s re-issues or if I really dig an album from Apple Music and think I want a higher quality version, I’ll get the CD (albeit that’s increasingly getting harder to do, a la “New Blue Sun” by Andre 3000 is streaming and vinyl only).

For movies, it’s pretty much movies that I think are essential to own personally. Like 2 weeks ago, bought “Trading Places”, “Tropic Thunder”, and “Across the Universe”.

Just wanted to take a moment and thank everyone that commented.

Would love to see KEF R11 on sale but doubt it.
