I wonder how inflated we can expect the prices to be since it will located in a very expensive, high-end type mall. I live in So. Cal, so I know the area.

New Pioneer products

"For example, at the Pioneer store exclusive products will include Pure Malt Speakers that are made from recycled whiskey barrels, home entertainment furniture with features such as built in speakers, various colored plasma frames that match different decors and small pick-up items including high quality speakers for use in the shower or bathtub."

Can't wait to hear the smooth mellow sound of Pure Malt Speakers (with no aftertaste). I am imaging a huge barrel converted into an HT sub.
I am also glad to hear about the high end in-shower speakers. They will go great with my new ipod player/toilet paper dispenser.
