re: Audio salesmen pushing expensive products

Well, salesmen who don't push stuff DO EXIST!

There is a little place in Leeds, England call Audio Projects Ltd. Many
years ago (whilst a student), I bought several components from them.
They sell expensive stuff too, Revox, Linn etc, but I could always go
in there, give them a figure I wanted to spend, and be given genuine
honest advice, with absolutely no pressure to spend more. I bought quite
a few cheap but quality items there, some of which I'm still using
6 yrs later. They also were willing to indulge you by demonstrating
products you could not afford, knowing that you were not buying.
I also found their policy of loaning out equipment for a home trial
very civilized - no money involved - delivered to your door, for you
to evaluate if you wanted it. ( I spent about 2 weeks on one occassion,
evaluating a total of a half dozen pairs of speakers, at home!)

But, such places are probably about as easy to find as the philosophers
stone. My experience with stereo people in Champaign-Urbana is pretty
depressing.
