Yeah, we waist much more. That electrical bill should be at least half of that, but there is no competition or effective government regulation. Many people just collect money not earn it. This dealer may not be the best there is but he does offer something potentially valuable and rewarding.
Quandary
I’m really happy with my system. However when a technician, who is also a salesman, came to my house for a stereo repair he complimented my set but said it would sound a lot better if I switched out my Benchmark AHB2 amp (which I think is great) for a Pass 30 wpc class AB amp. He offered to let me hear that amp in my system so that I could decide for myself (at a fee of $300.) The only problem is he doesn’t have the 30 watt amp in stock but would have to demo the Pass sound with 60 watt monoblocks. He assured me that with my very efficient GoldenEar Triton 1 speakers the 30 watt amp will almost have the the same quality.
Do you think I can honestly judge how the smaller amp will actually sound? Or should I cancel the demonstration (and save$300?)

The main reason for my decision was not just the $300 fee (which I agree might probably be worth it considering the heft of the amps,) but also the fact that it’s a different amp that I’d be trying out PLUS the fact that I really LIKE the sound of my system as is. The synergy between components is amazing and hard to come by. |
@rvpiano Sounds like a prudent decision. Upgrades are often a slippery slope, consuming a lot of time and money until you get your system where you want it. At some point we just need to enjoy our system as it is. At least one seasoned poster here waits around 5 years after an upgrade before entertaining the next one. Enjoy!
