It's important to understand the difference between Magnolia Design Center and Magnolia Home Theater. I used to work for BBY in their Magnolia Home Theater section and the difference between MHT and MDC is HUGE. MDCs can get the entire lineup of Sonus Faber, MartinLogan (which the sales people really push because martinlogan gives them "credits" that they can use towards their own purchases when they sell martinlogan product), Bowers & Wilkins, Definitive Technology, REL, McIntosh, Pro-Ject, Runco, Stewart, SME, Arcam and a whole hell of a lot more. Their salespeople are usually very knowledgeable, but some of them are CRAZY good at what they do. It's actually kind of sad that their brand is, in my opinion, diminished by being inside of a Best Buy. The only real beef that I have with them is that they have a serious mandate to push audioquest cables. But I've seen them do some pretty badass setups. They did a 5.5 setup in chicago with 4 MartinLogan CLXes, a Stage center channel, and 5 Descent Subwoofers. I think they did the 1200 watt McIntosh Monoblocks for all of the speakers and then had one of the sony 4k projectors.
