Do Thiel dealers discount?

I have decided to buy new thiel cs3.7 speaker to replace my old dynaudio.
Crutchfield sells this speaker at facory suggested price.
Also there is a Thiel dealer at one hour driving distance from my house.
Is it worth to visit them expecting to get a discount?
It is unusual that an online megastore sells high-end audio equipments, which makes me not to sure about discounts which we can usually expect from high end audio dealers.

I was trying to be kind. These speakers actually sound like a big AM radio is playing.

I wouldn't count on discounting, but a 2 hour round trip might be worth a try, especially as this price point.

If you have already decided to buy this model it can't hurt to contact a few dealers to see if any have a "demo" pair. Frequently a "demo", is that in name only, if you get my gist. That said the shipping cost may offset any saving over picking them up at your local dealer.

Usually no... but there's always a chance that a dealer wants to shift a pair that's been sitting on the floor as demos, or a pair that was ordered and the person changed their mind. Don't expect much though...

I would call the dealer to tell them that you are interested in the 3.7's and that you would like to visit them to listen to them. Once you're there, ask if there's anything they can do on the price. If the answer is no, see if they are willing to discount something else that you do need... cables, etc.
