General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

Mixed feelings

Frankly, I don't understand why the importer would even open a non-displaying dealer. The logic escapes me.

Under these circumstances I think at least a 10% and perhaps a 20% discount seems reasonable. If the OP was a regular customer 20% would certainly not be out of line.

That said, I find the tremendous sense of entitlement by many of the posters here extremely distasteful. You can either have B&M dealers who have display stock, are willing to offer home auditions (at least for a couple days) and who may offer set up assistance and loaners for repair situations OR you can have significant discounts off list. Anyone who thinks they should receive great service AND the lowest prices available ought to be in custodial care. Personally, I don't want B&M dealers to become extinct and if that means I only get 10% off list instead of 25% so be it. Those individuals who are willing to take advantage of a B&M dealer to audition and then search for the lowest price and buy elsewhere because they can save a couple hundred dollars are simply lowlife parasites.
