and Tweeter Home Entertainment, was a specialty consumer electronics retailer providing mid and high end electronic equipment, including flat panel TVs, plasma TVs, car radios, home theater systems, GPSs and more.

The company had more than 100 stores in 18 U.S. states, mostly along the east coast, but also including Illinois, Texas, California, Nevada and Arizona, operating under the names Tweeter, HiFi Buys, Showcase Home Entertainment and Sound Advice.

[2][3] It then added Atlanta-based HiFi Buys in 1997,[4][5] San Diego based DOW Stereo/Video in 1999,[6][7] Chicago-based United Audio Center[8][9] and Douglas TV stores[10][11][12] in 2000 and Florida-based Sound Advice in 2001.

[17] Customers reported paid goods and deposits were part of frozen assets[18] which eventually forced them to file as creditors in the liquidation.

[19] Following the original 2007 Chapter 11 filing and sale of assets to Schultze, the original Tweeter company (now a shell company) remained active, having been renamed TWTR Inc..[20] On October 4, 2013, more than six years after selling its assets (and almost five years after the Tweeter chain shut down for good), shares of TWTR Inc. (at that point still listed under "TWTRQ") were trading for as much as 1 500% above the previous day's closing price (US$0.15 vs $0.007).
