Gpgr4blu, again you ignornance is showing.
A certain famous NY audio store owner used to march his sales people down to his basement to show the sales staff which products to sell based on being in stock, if that isn't trying to shoe horn a potential client into what is good for the retailor then what is?
I frequently got in trouble with that owner for selling the products and sytems which weren't necessarily in stock but I felt were the best ones for my clients.
Another famous NY City store owner, had when I started to work in his Brooklyn store sold only Linn tables, didn't sell subwoofers other than Definitive, and had almost no selection didn't even sell any tube brands.
You have never been to mystore or worked with me directly, so you base all of your opinions on your dread of salesmanship, my loquacious nature, and having strong opinions, and my extolling superior value to dollar products.
My store stocks O we order in whatever the client wants to purchase. If customer A likes Paradigm great, if they prefer Legacy great or ATC great, or Kef? This is the reason my store has a lot of great choices in all different price ranges.
Check many of the forum posts about many peoples experiences with other NY CIty stores and then come back to me, as someone who worked for two of them, the perspective on the other side wasn't allways rosey.
How about storries of customers being ignored based on their dress? Or customers not allowed to stay in the store after "closing hours." wether or not they were taken care of? Or how about people being sold systems that were too big for their rooms or pocketbooks because it made the store money?
Grgr4blu you may have gotten good treatment from some of the stores you mentioned but I am willing to bet there are others who would not mirror your experiences. Caveat emptor!
