What products to go with for a high end home theater store?

Yes, Totem is also a hard sell, very hard, primarily due to their price point.

What price points are you looking to represent anyway? Sounds like some moderately high end stuff, although brands like B&W, Focal, Paradigm etc can cover quite a range.

I know a few shops which have dropped (or refuse to carry) B&W interestingly. I've also heard one shop complain about poor support from Velodyne. Can't confirm or provide any specifics, just some things I've stumbled across in the past few months.

RBH Sound may not be a big name but their Signature Series line is amazing and will sell itself in your demo room. Dealer margins are excellent. It's at least worth a phone call to Daren Egan, their VP of marketing and sales.

You'll also give those Canadians a place to go buy and demo speakers when we talk about RBH... lol.

Other than that, you might want to contact CablestoGo/Impact Acoustics (Joe Cornwall). Their RapidRun line is simply groundbreaking in terms of its field termination ability. No one else can terminate HDMI and DVI in the field, to wall plate or pigtail.

I also like NHT, Dali... don't know their margins though.

Sounds great Clint! Thanks for the advice.
Any recomendations on TV lines?

Just to name of a few, like Canton, would be any where from $2G to $30G. Meridian $1500-high thousands, depending on what lines we carry withing each company.
