I think you lied or misrepresented yourself in your original post and now instead of agreeing with my points you want to attack me as you backtrack to cover the error of your ways. Don't deny what you originally said - I usually don't visit high end dealers anymore, mainly because of the snobbish attitude of the sales peopleI named one specific snobby dealer. Why you would think I am attacking all dealers doesn't make sense.
Don't deny what you originally said - see my quote directly above and your original post!The numerous responses agreeing with my experience on this thread indicate I struck a common nerve. You are in a small minority. I have a difficult time believing you are not somehow invested in a dealer.
LOL! Sure the heck I invested with all my local dealers you numbskull - how in the heck can I listen before I buy?
The only common nerve I see you've struck is one with others who put price above quality or synergy. You know those who get off on audio by sending off money after looking at pictures and reading a review - kind of like getting off looking at some chick in Playboy except with audio you've got to send your money off for your fantasy.
And BTW with my nearly 30 years of audio experience a third of my equipment has been bought used or from authorized dealers selling mail order so I'm completely aware that not all product is available locally and that one can gain experience buying used.
You wanna get a couple of high fives around here for your hate dealer posts go for it - it usually brings out a crowd. I personally get kind of tired of hearing it and my response now is the same as it's been all along. I think most of you guys are cheap dips that would rather pay a $1000 for a $2000 component than take the time to find the $1000 component that worked best in your system.
Give me rhythm or give me death!
