Might be speaking out of turn, but surely the Dealer who performed the home demo may deserve consideration for your business?

Same thought crossed my mind - he may have some trade in stock so I would ask.

Any Dealer - whether franchised or not - who has taken the time to perform a home-demo should be treated even-handedly IMHO.  I can imagine any Dealer being peeved to waste time when  - unless notified of the situation beforehand - the potential customer was always going to source the goods elsewhere.  As the English say, 'It's just not Cricket!'

If for instance. You were interested in a car and went for a test drive to see if you really liked it, but you always new you woluld never pay the dealer mark up against a second had model privately. Would that not be most peoples way of finding out the ins and outs of an expensive purchase. Not everyone I know but the majority.      

Maybe the dealer will reap their rewards at a later date for their efforts!

They knew that beforehand!  Plus it was my mate. They fitted a new stb controller chip in my avant, he said he would bring a pair of speakers to demo he is going to look out for a pair for me but he only has a pair of 6000's.

I agree with yourselfs it would be a bit unfair to have him spend 3hrs  without a sale.

That explains all - were they Mk1 or MK2 that were demonstrated just out of interest?  Thanks

I have never really heard the beolab 8000s pumped but they are on the cards for me this year if I get a contract renewal and I will know about that this month. I hope you get a decent pair. Also what are your guys thoughts on red 8000s? I am completely undecided on them. I know the silver are better but I have found a pair of MK2 in Japan that are pretty cheap.

Difference to what? Another speakers or just the TV speakers?
