Let's see, you've spent $4000 at this store and they wouldn't let you listen to a pair of overpriced speakers for a few minutes? According to them the speakers were available to audition to potential buyers "only" How do they know what kind of money you have and are willing to spend on audio equipment?
Apparently they (wrongly) were judging a book by its cover?
Reminds me of when one of my younger brothers - in a pair of clean jeans and a t-shirt - walked into a local Mercedes dealer (on the weekend) and was completely and utterly ignored by every single salesperson, they looked directly at him and never even acknowledged him. I'm sure they thought "How could a guy in jeans and a t-shirt afford a Mercedes?"
So he went down the street to a BMW dealer and leased a $60,000 car for himself and two BMW 5' series for a couple of executives who worked for him.
He returned to the Merdedes dealer - spoke with the sales manager and told him what happened. They not only lost a rather large sale, they also lost all future sales. They also judged (wrongly) a book by its cover.
If I was you, I wouldn't spend so much as a dime in that audio store ever again. And if you ever find yourself in the position to purchase audio equipment of value, I would march back in and tell the owner precisely why you didn't and wouldn't purchase anything in his store ever again.
