[QUOTE="Air, post: 1065605, member: 15182"] I spent quite some time in Holland doing a bit of informal research about the hifi industry, especially the retail side of things. Looked around in Amsterdam, Alkmaar, Den Hague and also Nieuwegein. My impressions are that the DIY side of things is very alive and well, whereas the retail is less vibrant. Sales are generally around 2000 Euro per product and max around 6000euro for a system. Pockets and niches are doing really well such as vinyl. The hi-end or uber hi-end is only a fantasy of marketers of this kind of equipment. I would pop over Belgium as well if you have the time as there you will find not only the typical European brands from the north and from the UK but also more French and Spanish brands. :2c: [/QUOTE]
