@ Elizabeth
Thanks for your informative response covering a number of aspects in the question I posed.
My own recent experience supports those responses. Interestingly, I have found that different authorized dealers for the particular speaker I asked about varied by as much as 15% . I'm betting the dealer selling for list moves a lot of them, where other dealers moved few of them. I was also impressed at how easy it was to discuss discounts without pitfalls often associated with that subject. It certainly doesn't hurt to ask in a diplomatic manner when effectively communicating you are a serious buyer and fully prepared to make a decision.
