How many times can u visit a hifi store before it annoys the store if u plan on a purchase


I plan on buying a McIntosh system C12000 and 2 MC611 monoblocks in a about 3 months from this Stereo shop I have chosen. I’ve been to the store about 4 times over the past year and half to listen to various components trying diff equipment.

My question, is, what would be considered visiting the store to much before I buy a system? I plan on spending over 20k but I didn’t know what is proper etiquette.

I have read many of the BS responses you have received regarding placing a limit on visits or what is respectful for a dealer. You are obviously interested in their products. I would go in every day until you make the right decision for you. 

If you receive any BS from that particular dealer, I would buy elsewhere and then go in and show them the paid invoice! Also, ensure you get at least a 15% discount off retail since there is a 40-50% markup regardless of brand or what a dealer tells you.
