One variation on the theme...

...when I was comparing the Ohms against the Maggies many years ago, the Maggie dealer loaned me the floor model he had out. When I decided those were the keepers at that time, I returned the floor demos and received a new pair of speakers to keep.

While that only really works for a local dealer and not mail order (particularly where size and weight ramp up shipping charges rapidly), auditioning floor models has always struck me as a good option. The client gets a broken-in unit to audition, and the dealer doesn't have to deal with an out-of-box item that may put off a subsequent buyer if a unit is returned.
