Do McIntosh dealers give discount on new models?


I am looking to buy the MC1.25KW monoblock paired with the C1100 pre-amp to drive my new B&W 800D3 speakers. I am looking to buy this in Hong Kong. The price the dealer is quoting me is coming to be more expensive give than what I can see is the US retail price for this combo of McIntoshs. Two questions:

1. Does this pairing sound ok? I cannot demo the McIntosh's with the B&Ws as they do not have a common dealer in HK
2. Should I be pushing the dealer for a bigger discount?

Thanks in advance.

I’ve received 20% off on all my Mac gear without even having to try hard. With Mac gear holding its value very well and so many paying full retail, the loss is minimal if you want to sell. 
I heard your desired combo and then heard the speakers with a up the line Rotel. I liked the Rotel synergy more but it was under store acoustic conditions. I was surprised that I didn’t think the Big Mac mono blocks were worth the extra money. 

I’m not telling you that the combo won’t be perfect for you in your room. What I am saying is echoing the above advice to be careful and not buy on subjective forum recommendations alone. 

I think when when you get into the level of speakers you’re looking at, I would view the pairing decision slowly and carefully. 
Not sure if you have options but I would demand at least 15% and if not look somewhere else if you have that option.
Thanks very much all. I bought the Mcintosh mono blocks today for delivery this weekend. I got a good deal with all your advice on this forum. Have a good day all
Come on spill the beans....what discount did you get?  That was the purpose of your thread
