When purchasing a complete high-end system (amp, pre-amp, speakers, source,
and cables) in the $5K-10K range from a single dealer, what is a reasonable
discount from list price to expect?  I'm not out to trim every last possible
penny from the price (I would like to maintain a good relationship with the
dealer), but neither am I into spending significantly more than I have to.
I know that the margin is different from product to product.  I'm just
looking for a good rule of thumb.

Mail is welcome, but the subject might be of interest to others.
