Carousel music Dothan Al should be able to do it if anyone.  
Buying Used Equipment on the Internet
I've bought a lot of used equipment on ebay and only one bad experience. The seller just put the amp in a box without padding.... you know what happened. When you buy used equipment make sure you have a good tech near you because they will go bad ... 
What's the point of reviewing?
@larsman like my hifi system, I have some very good computer speakers... where as I am listening to my speakers reproducing the reviewed speakers I listen to my speakers enough to get an idea of how the reviewed speakers probably sound. Not exact ...

Integrated for Martin Logan Electrostatics
I was at the florida audio expo three years ago and one room had a mcintosh ma352 driving two Martin Logan speakers.... to me, it was the best sounding system at the show... so there is that.

I was at the Florida auto show a couple of years ago when I went into a large room with huge expensive speakers and the dealer had put on a record that made the speakers sound as if they were blown...... I was wondering what he could possibly be t... 
How rare is an audiophile
I'm the only one I know of.... When I was young, I tried to get my parents to buy a nice system but they thought it was a waste of time and money as I feel all my current friends feel the same way. It's OK though.  
Is there a ceiling limit on what you are willing to pay for an audio component?
Apparently my limit is just below 20K for my system but in my mind it should be below 10K. I'm apparently weak and rationalize more than I should.  
Was I Expecting Too Much
Sorry, I did misread the post.... I wouldn't buy anything from this dealer as he was obviously showing you he wasn't anyone you would want to deal with.  
Was I Expecting Too Much
I do understand where the dealer was coming from.... "I'm not purchasing now but down the road".... Demoing at your place when you aren't going to buy something is not practical. The bottom line is price so if he brings it to you to demo and you f...
