Hi
As a customer you need to visit all the dealers in the area (the ones who dont know you are their competition) and note down the experience and brands available.....see the pros and cons......Have proven setups available for set budgets for a beginner or experience customer.....also a bit of mix and match will help.......
Given todays competition and the number of dealers (physical / online), its a tough battle....as a customer, I see that there are few or no honest dealers who are not customer friendly.....irrespective if I buy or not a product....the experience matters to some....a dealer should not push the wrong product to me which does not fulfill my expectations or requirements......a dealer should have ample knowledge and keep upgrading himself to be on top of the rest....all have internet at their fingertips....knowledge is available over Google....so no B*** S*** should be given to the customer.....
Pricing does matter to everyone....irrespective of being rich or normal....it is the state of mind and practicality one would follow to own a system and the kind of system....some want to add a system for decor or glamour purposes....some really want to enjoy the HT/Audio experience at home and some also want value for money spent....all customers are different and have expectations which need to be managed,,,,,
If you have enough capital to invest.......try to establish something unique which appeals to the masses......as business grows.....I have seen dealers struggle to sustain customers...especially the older ones who have helped making the dealer known and reputable....it is critical to maintain good relationships....remember it is not only 100% about the money.....simple law....Treat me bad....I will go elsewhere.....get the best.....also possibly bad mouth you...... after all Customer is King......
All the best!

Do the acoustics, seating, speaker placements right.
I haven't seen a home theater demo room with proper seating position no matter how expensive their systems are.
For example none should be seated near to any of the walls of the room.
Don't use big speakers with silly AVRs.
Its like feeding grass to Lions.
Do research on content and don't Force the customer to listen to those concert videos. He has come for a home theater system and not stereo speakers.
Don't use screens which look like a 65 inch TV.
Size matters here. It will add to the experience. Even if the customer has come for speakers.
You should have good knowledge about all this. I haven't seen any speaker store guy with enough knowledge. I end up teaching them a few things.
You can learn only if you are really passionate.
List is long.. but will end it here for this time
Btw even I wish to start a company. But will do once I gain knowledge I'm satisfied with. I have spent more than a thousand hours reading about all this stuff.
