Maggies offer in home when there is no dealer so you can hear them. That is a generous offer and a way for you to get to hear them when otherwise you would not be able to. No one wants to buy a product blind.
In your case there is a local dealer where you can audition them until your heart's content and therefore get a good idea how they sound.
Requesting that your dealer loan you a pair, imo, is not reasonable on a low ticket item. First, if he gave you his floor model he would not have any in store for others to hear. Secondly, if he gave you a new pair he would the have a used pair on his hands and loose money. Finally, his profit margin is most likely so low on this that going to your home and helping you set them up, etc., would, again mean that he looses money.
I don't think you are thinking this through very well and understand why magnepan has their in home policy. If you did you wouldn't feel victimized.
