RCPrince,
Indeed you are right about the setup in the Best Buy store. I listened to the Sonus Faber Olympica III there today. The room has a different system on each wall and too many speakers in the room overall. But I have seen worse. I had a little time gap between errands and meetings so I went in for a listen. They sound good, but I would like a more critical listen with more time. They are driving the speakers with a 400 watt solid state McIintosh amp. Clearly this is nothing like my amp. Is that going to throw me off quite a bit? They do have a MC275 in the store, though it may be challenging to get them to hook it up to the speakers for some reason...
