Find a dealer who has a pair of demos they are allowed to sell as discounted. I don't know what restrictions constitute the definition of demos. If out of state, and if you have a local Avalon dealer, you may have to visit the out-state dealer to be able to do the deal. Or - if you have a friend near that dealer, that would likely suffice and he/she can be buying a "gift" for you.
Avalon Pricing Policy?
Recently auditioned some new Avalon Ascendants and Indras and was impressed enough to consider seriously consider purchasing. However, the authorized dealer told me that it was Avalon pricing policy to only sell at MSRP. Is this the experience of others? Having previously worked in high end retail I am not one to pay MSRP so I walked. Too bad. The dealer missed a cash sale and I am still without speakers.
