I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who goes through the lies and deceit we audiophiles have to go through to get these new components into the house. If I were only half as creative doing my job, my boss would probably be happy to buy this stuff for me as a bonus!!!
HiFi dealers & audiophile wife problems
We sold certain brand of black spkrs to a customer about a year ago. He wanted rosewood, but he bought black. Why? Because he figured he could swap the new spkrs with his old (about the same size) while his wife was out and figured she wouldn't notice. Did it work? Yes.
