Say it ain't so...


Went into a Best Buy today and came across a section called "Magnolia". It was a "Home Theater" department. They had Definitive Technology, Martin Logan, Boston Acoustics, REL, Denon, and a few other brands generally associated with HiFi Buys/Tweeter or better audio stores.
How about that...

Got to jump in
Went to Best Buy/ Magnolia here in my home town.
I asked about the Primare I 30 integrated and D 30.2 CD player. I was told they "don't carry that brand" however I saw a Home theater reciever there Made by Primare and know that the regular Magnolia stores do carry the Primare line.

Then I saw some Vienna Acoustic Beethoven demos that were on sale at a good price. Asked the salesguy if I could listen. They were hooked up to a hometheater system and for some reason the "mains" wouldn't play. I looked behind the speakers and noticed one of them was not hooked up. This was not the only problem as he still couldn't figure how to get any sound. I told him I would come back in a few and went to the bookstore next door.

When I returned he was "helping" another customer, and told me the speakers wouldn't play. Come back tomarrow maybe the manager could help me out.
Power + Source + Speakers = 5 minutes tops -- how hard can that be?
Magnolia may be there but it's still the same Bestbuy fiasco. ( I expected it )
Can you imagine the damage that must occur to some beautiful gear due to these undertrained salespeople?
