Your experience is kind of what I had when I went to a dealer near me.
He had Golden Ear, but I told him I remembered Vandersteen and liked them.
He said: 'Vandersteen is old tech'.
When I auditioned the Golden Ear and said I didn't care for them, he said:
'How can you? They are the Best Rated speaker out there.
Needless to say, I didn't go back.
IMHO, If you have a dealer badmouthing a brand, stay away.
