I would have to look at the balance sheet, cash flow and income statements of Meridian and compare it to other high end audio/video companies to see how well they are doing against the competition. Sony really isn't Meridian's competition. meridians competition is more like Krell and the other high end full range audio/video mfg. I am kind of shocked they can afford to have these Meridian stores in places like mexico. I think it is going to be kind of difficult to maintain good profit margins to keep the Meridian Stores open unless they really have enough foot traffic and sales, but if that's the direction, then we as consumers might be seeing Meridian retail/service centers replacing traditional dealers that may or may not be 100% dedicated to the Meridian brand, We might see improved customer service with the Meridian store concept.
