How do you like your store demo?


I'm curious, those who still go to hifi shops, about what you like to have happen at a store demo, how you like to be treated, what you expect from the store personnel, that sort of thing...
Anyone care to share?
Thanks
Chas

Waste little time at dealer demo's. Only dealers that will give you a loaner, at no charge, are really worth doing business with. How it sounds in your system is the only demo you need. I know, that is a tough business model but it often will clear the place of gawkers and let the dealer focus on the serious, since it is reasonable for the dealer to get a credit card number and put a hold on the card for a nominal amount. When it comes to speakers, serious dealers will deliver and set up the demo, especially if the speakers are $5K plus items.

Everybody needs the once in a lifetime experience of being 'dealed', at the Lyric store in New York City. Ego and arrogance rule there. They sell to a mostly high net worth client that love 'attitude'. Average sale is about $35K. They have been around for almost fifty years and I cannot understand why. If you go, listen for the 'subway' in the basement.
