"Worst for what? Attitude? If so, two New York City shops excel at that, Lyric and Singer. I encourage all to visit those shops and check them out. Oh, you must bring your bank statements showing at least $1.5 million as a balance, otherwise they will not be able to sell you anything. It does help if you are also an investment banker or hedge fund director."
Buconero117, you must know someone there or be on the "approved list of highly valued customers" They made me show $2.0 million on my bank statement!
I understand both sides of the game here. I don't go to audition anything unless I am going to pay the dealer prices. I know a few retailers in Mew Jersey and I also repair equipment for them. I won't even take home a demo or used component as I know I won't typically buy something from them. Too many people go there to hear a particular product knowing that they want to use the audition to help them make up their mind about a few speakers they are interested in and then go to the used market online to get the speakers they decide upon. I is a huge disappointment to the dealer and a big waste of time. Yes, a business should show more interest in help people for future sales, etc., but how many here have gone to a dealer to audition and never purchased anything from them. Living in the NYC area where there a several audio clubs, I can hear so much equipment without going to a dealer so I am a lucky SOB without bothering the local dealers.
Happy Listening.
