I have always had a problem with demos at 'the dealers'. Many many speakers at 'the dealers' have far to few hrs. on them.---Case in point, my new Sophia 2's required at least 6 month's at near 24/7---not they sounded like they needed all this time---they just got better and better over this time. I would imagine a listener at month # 1 might have a different opinion than a listener at month #6;??
Then we have the room,already mentioned.---The unfamiliarity of everything else being used. That includes the components /cables / power cords / speaker wire/ bases/ they all matter and contribute.--(Oh, and are all the wires in this demo broken in ?)
I would guess many dealers run their stuff in and out the door pretty fast.
