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.

Do they know that you intend to buy and your reason for waiting? 

My first job out of college was retail audio sales.  Nothing high end.  Stuff like Onkyo Integra and Acoustic Research. Decent stuff in the mid 80s. If I had a dime for every time somebody auditioned gear, said they would come back to buy, and didn't....
