Let me get into my "way back machine"--nearly 40 years ago, there was a high-end audio dealer smack dab in the middle of the OSU campus in Columbus, OH--they would "entertain" all of us poor college students--let us drink and smoke (not just cigarettes) in their high-end audio rooms (with the sliding glass doors closed). No "snobbery"--just a lot of fun. Hell, the sales people weren't much older than we were. They knew we couldn't afford ANYTHING in those rooms, but we would buy enough volume of "lower-end" stuff to keep the doors open and the lights on--GOOD TIMES!!!
Progressive Audio? Great, great place, unfortunately closed in 2012 (I believe), but to that point had been in business for 34yrs on the OSU campus, right in the middle of High St.
Good times at that place, AMAZING gear there.
