Sometimes you can find a high end shop that isn't like that. But most are. Usually the hi end shops associated with home theater equipment.
I support the legite honest shops by purchasing through them, unless my budget won't stretch then I'll go audiogon and the other shops (usually pushing 1 or two brands) I'll use them and never buy. Or if they're lucky avoid them all together.
They're just trying to protect their pocket book and doing there job so I don't think it is rude. But I'm trying to protect my pocketbook as well.
