Default Reno HiFi Closing
Sadly as I was looking at the Reno Hifi web site I came across
this sad piece of news. Mark Sammut proprieter will be retiring
spring 2024, and closing shop..

A heart breaker for sure...

Sad news; 5 more friends of mine that own high end audio businesses, are closing their doors for good.

This is very sad news. All the best to him in retirement. We definitely need more high end audio stores.

I got my X150.5 from him. Sad to see another brick and mortar go under. Glad that my local hifi shop picked up the line a couple of years back.

Looks like Mark’s closing sooner in September!
Sad
Great Dealer
Who’s going to fill the void?
You will be missed.
Enjoy Retirement
