Some years ago I was in Dubai, my friend there is (or was) a serious Audiophile and had a lot of stuff. So we once decided to visit the biggest Audio Shop there, I was 
expecting very much, I thought, "here" I will see all those super expensive units....
Well, no.

Only digital, mostly surround Systems, multi link, but the expensive ones, linked with Linn pre, amps and Martin Logan speakers. They sold such combos in large numbers...
I talked with the shop owner, because he was interested in our units, he was a nice guy and said, he likes Turntables and tube equipment, but nobody wants that, "they" want a remote control and when 5 monoblocs are not enough, well then "they" order another 5. Just fast, clean deals with a rebate and no "problems" with service.
He had about 10 Demo rooms and it was more or less the same, different surround brands with different pricing, but nothing what can impress you (I think) ...
