Typical New Speaker Dealer Discount A Buyer May Expect

I'm searching for new speakers and am willing to spend around $7K to $8K, or so.  I'm wondering if that amount generally represents a final discounted cost off MSRP of $9K to $10K, or 15% to 20%?  This figure is what I've estimated based on a number of member comments in terms of new equipment discounts.  Do discounts vary significantly from dealer to dealer, speaker brand to brand in this price range?  This will help me in terms of budgeting and in terms of which speakers to begin the process of narrowing down for final selection, and whether to purchase new or used.

Thanks for your informative response covering a number of aspects in the question I posed.

My own recent experience supports those responses.  Interestingly, I have found that different authorized dealers for the particular speaker I asked about varied by as much as 15% .  I'm betting the dealer selling for list moves a lot of them, where other dealers moved few of them.   I was also impressed at how easy it was to discuss discounts without pitfalls often associated with that subject.  It certainly doesn't hurt to ask in a diplomatic manner when effectively communicating you are a serious buyer and fully prepared to make a decision.
