Maybe they assume people who have the funds to buy high end audio gear might travel sometimes. I know when I travel I tend to check out local high shops. I’ve bought cars across the country, flown out and drove them home several times. High shops are kinda dwindling down in smaller markets, blue tooth has killed the low end / midfi market
Have you ever wondered why speaker manufactures do not consign speakers to dealers?
How many of you have wanted to hear a pair of speakers and the dealer only has a pair of their low end speakers to listen to? I would say in most cases, dealers in Colorado have limited availability of speakers to listen to on their floor. How then is it possible to purchase a speaker without listening to it first? You would think speaker manufactures would want to sell their higher end speakers and consign at least three speaker models to dealers so they could have them available for their customers to listen to.
