I've known two dealers that always dealt honestly with their patrons and many more that did not. If you are scraping to put food on the family table you will do almost anything to make a sale. It is just the way we are when survival is involved. So unless you are friends it is always wise to treat these situations with a degree of mistrust. The line that works for me is, "I'm not ready to buy today I'm just doing my research." Big smile then keep your mouth shut. The salesperson will come back with something like," we have this one pair with open boxes that we can sell you for a discount." Just smile, shake your head and keep your mouth shut. Never buy anything from a Human who is trying to sell you anything be it in a store or on TV.
Revel speakers - dealer scuttlebutt
Hi - I recently heard 2 speakers in the Performa3 line and was very impressed. Reading about the company' s research efforts and scientific approach to design furthered by respect for Revel's products. As I'm in the middle of a speaker search I happened to mention to a audio dealer hearing Revel speakers and my favorable experience. He doesn't carry Revel and wrote to me that he heard that they are having financial problems and will be dropping Revel. This doesn't make sense to me and I couldn't find any news that backs up his statement. Does anyone know anything about this? Is it just the dealer's "sour grapes"
thanks!
thanks!
