Shipping them back will be $$$ but i have had good dealings with TMR. I like to buy locally but that's the risk your dealer takes for not letting you do a home demo.
I just bought a pair of speakers direct from the manufacturer, 30 day return policy. I knew very early in that they were keepers.
If you liked them in the store , the risk for him is low. I would go with TMR. Their condition rating is usually very accurate. If they say something looks new, it does.
