I just bought a set of B&W 603 and a Yamaha R-N803D at our local Hifi dealer. I paid €350 extra when compared to the webshops available in the Netherlands, but these local shops need to be supported.

UK none essential retailers who have closed there doors should be able to able for a grant of at least £25k, to cover overheads, they can also furlough staff and get 80% of the GROSS salary back from the government, AND can apply for a bounce back loan!
