Free in-home testing?


Looking for recommendations on brands that have some type of free in-home testing and return

I'm aware of SVS and their policy so they are under consideration

Showrooms near me are getting harder to come by with my only options being Magnolia at Best Buy and World Wide Stereo (70 min away)...and Magnolia really only has Martin Logan, Definitive technology and B&W on display

Jim Clark stereo at least for the Carver 275 and 350.  He pays shipping to you and " We have an Iron Clad Satisfaction Guaranty with No-Restocking Fee if You are Less than 100% Satisfied with your purchase.. you pay shipping back to him, (that's fair) but you won't.  You probably buy a second to bi-amp.  5 yes 5 yr warranty on both amp AND tubes,Same with the 350 "  If you are less than 100% Happy, we will refund your purchase with no restocking fee w/n 30 days"  you pay shipping back but again you won't.  I own the 350s with a 50 yr warranty on tubes and amp (he gave it to me at Carverfest) the rest of you peons only get a 10, yes TEN yr warr on amp and tubes.  Name me one company that gives 5 or 10 or 50 on amp AND Tubes.  Many hi end amp 6 months on tubes, maybe a yr if you are lucky then that you buy the tube(s) and pay for all repairs if necessary.  If your not looking for an amp................................................never-mind (courtesy of SNL)
Now I have it from the highest authority (seriously) they are working on a new tube pre-amp but don't know where., when...Maybe Axpona??? I honestly don't' know.  I do the 1/2 stack is history (highest source) so don't wait for that.
