Dealers and exaggerated treble

I've been thinking about some negative experiences I've had at dealers over the past few years. I don't mean the dealer's were unpleasant, they were not. I mean that I heard bad sound.


In a lot of those cases, the treble was exaggerated, or harsh to me.


I'm wondering, have you ever heard really bad treble at a dealer, but then you hear the speakers elsewhere and they seem fine?

@erik_squires ,
- How many consumers of high end gear are easily duped by it.
I think a large chunk of those with disposable wealth will be victims of dealer deceit, but mostly from their belief that paying more equates with getting the 'best'- All done without listening beforehand.

I pretty much gave up on Dealers after my experiences with them during the 80's. Luckily, I found John Rutan here on Audiogon.
(This isn't supposed to be a plug, but just that I finally found a dealer who not only knows his stuff, but is honest).
