If the salesman wasn’t the owner/manager, I would have a conversation with the manager regarding the salesman’s comments regarding your current system. Obviously, the salesman must use this tactic to generate sales. Unfortunately, he just ran into someone who is experienced and isn’t intimidated by these tactics. Again, talk to the owner and describe how they lost this sale as well as all future sales. I would also warn your local audio club members.
Enough is Enough
I've been looking at changing my DAC. I was considering Lampizator, Playback Designs, and Ideon. Recently a dealer basically told me(with the exception of my subwoofer and music server) my system sucks. He went on to say, I should sell my amps, preamp, DAC, speakers, and start all over! I've owned several different speakers, amplifiers, and DACs. I've attended shows and several different dealers show rooms. In fact, I directly compared one of the amplifiers the dealer recommended to a Rowland 625 S2 amplifier and preferred the 625 S2. I didn't build my system in a vacuum. I determined what I wanted to spend, listened and purchase what I preferred. I've been in sales and submit it would have been better to recommend a DAC that would improve my system. So now I say, maybe enough is enough; because no matter what I have some dealer will tell me it's crap and I have to start over.
