In Reply to: I just got phone screened by a dealer and rejected posted by Robert Joe on February 14, 2007 at 11:24:10:
Speaking as a manufacturer, I want any dealer of mine to demo speakers on request. Dealers that refuse to do so are of no use to me or potential customers I refer to him. Of course, the speakers need to be well set up in a good environment, with quality associated gear. This puts a large burden on the retailer who must devote space and capital investment to his demo rooms and yes, unbox a lot of stuff that instantly becomes less valuable than it was a few minutes ago in the carton.I think back fondly of a high end retailer in Virginia who stocked the IRS 5, a $65,000 speaker. He would play it for anyone at any time, without qualifying the customer or examining his financials.
He sold a lot of IRS's and many smaller systems like the Ib as well. I was present when a wife convinced her husband to buy the speakers on the spot, because of their sound and despite their size, looks and price tag.Since then I've been convinced this what the High End was all about!
