Looks like quite a few of us here are A&L customers. Hope they keep up the good work

Yes they do. For example, forummer C T Seong is from A&L Bangsar.

I'm sure he must be glad of so many positive things said about A&L here. Not like the things said about L*g**d

Ah, I get what you're trying to say now

All salesmen sure have sales target and I'm sure all of them would love to close a sale the 1st time a customer walks in. But for hifi I think customers want to take their time to audition and compare. Personally I don't like hard sell type of salesman. That kind of approach turns me off. So a shop that takes a softer approach will probably win in the end.

Anyway, what makes you think the salesmen at A&L can't succeed with the approach they take. A&L got a few branches, the salesmen all keep their jobs, so something must be going right for them.

No, "powderful" is correct as a parody of our bad English. Just like england = english.
