I know of a place that sold high end equipment for decades and the owner would actually tell people to leave because he thought they will not buy from him. The people he told this too were in audio clubs that owned higher end equipment so word got around and the clientele who were most interested in his equipment stopped going to his place.
Innovative Autio in NYC just hung up on me
Being they are one of two dealers for StromTank, and being I would like to buy one, I called Innovative Audio in NYC and was greeted by a woman who insisted on keeping her voice loud and when I told her she was yelling at me, hung up on me!
I guess this is why in my 50 years in HiFi, I NEVER shopped at Innovative Audio Video Showrooms. I can order the unit directly from Alex, and I am. It would have been nice to go for a listen. StromTank should STRONGLY consider these yokels selling for them.
