Unsound
I believe Tower.com is still in business. Certainly its website is operating and contains current promotional material The stores, at least the ones in LA, closed at the end of 2006 (I know, because I bought over 100 CD albums in the close-out), but its not inconceivable that the online operation can make a profit. Berkshire Record Outlet has been in business for years, first as a catalog outfit and now primarily as an online retailer, and it sells only classical music (a small fraction of all CD sales). Not sure if Tower.com is still owned by the old Tower or whether it was sold to a new owner in the bankruptcy.
