[QUOTE="wickedwitt, post: 7299219, member: 622908"] The reason most shops don't demo their higher end speakers is because a local shop doesn't sell that product very often. If you take one of the higher end subs/amps that hardly move and demo it, you've ruined its markup by either having to sell it at a used price or running the risk of some idiot coming in and blowing it playing with the board. Also, most local shops don't even keep their highest end stuff in stock because it is a bad investment to hang on to something that has such a high dealer initial cost. They move tons of the lower end equipment, so it's worth having them setup to demo because it will actually get them sales. Most of the time people want to hear the loudest thing setup, only expecting to buy $500 worth of equipment. Wears out the equipment, with no prospect of a sale. [/QUOTE]
