Retail vs. List Price


What is a fair, good, realistic, great %discount off list price for HiEnd audio? Specifically: I am looking for the Revel M 20s and need some advice before purchasing. I've seen prices from $2000(the actual retail) to $1695. What's a guy to do?

A local salesperson buddy of mine routinely gives me 30% off list, sometimes more, never less.

I've been told on what I consider good authority (though I have no proof) that my Mezzo Utopias that list for 14.9K sell to the dealer for just a bit under 7K.

A dealer in a nearby town, trying to make it in a marginal market, marks down Paradigm speakers about 20% but Gallo speakers almost 30%; Sonic Frontiers and Anthem electronics only about 10%.

Confusing, isn't it?
