In Reply to: Would you pay to audition speakers posted by sudz1234@yahoo.com on March 12, 2011 at 12:13:16:
The guy does not know you. so he tells you this. If you really are goingto buy one or the other, then yeah, do it. if you just want to hear them and THEN decide.. no. Listen to them in the store. Take your own music you really like and know. You can probably arrange to use your own amp and pre if you ask nice, and do it during a slow period. Ask for three hours at least. If they say no, then they really do not want to be bothered selling anything anyway. Snooty.
So ask them to allow you to bring YOUR electronics in and audition each speaker for a few hours, at a time of thier convenience (for free, obviously).. If they say no. well.
if they say yes, then you can decide if you want to try them at home and spend the $500. Also, being more motivated, and doing the in store with your stuff..and they get to know you.. they may change thier mind and let you take them home
