Good post. I've never been able to really get a meaningful audition of anything at Tweeter or a similar type store that has some high end stuff but is really not geared for audio. I remember going about 4 yrs. back with a couple of friends to audition stuff and the sales person thought the Denon 2900 as a source was the last word in CD and SACD playback. Between what they used as a source and amplfication, I could only ger very ltd. useful information. I don't think Polk's are bad speakers at all. They're probably fairly easy to drive vs. many things out there. When I walk into a store I'm more than happy to bring stuff in to make sure I'm hearing something I'm familiar really familiar with electronics and speakers wise or approximates what I have at home. When I bought a CD player a couple of mos. back I even brought in my own home made cables so that two playing could be hooked up to the preamp using the same stuff. I bought my Sony 2000ES CD/SACD changer at Tweeter when it first came out as they were the only local dealer carrying it and it was for a secondary system (I 1st put it in my basement system which does not see much use and then moved it to the bedroom system which feeds multiple other places via a speaker switcher) and I didn't need to audition it.
