I find it interesting that no dealers participated in this thread. It would be interested in hearing from a dealer as to the actual logistics of transporting and setting up 200+ lbs loudspeakers for an at home demonstration. Do they crate the loudspeaker? How many people are involved in the delivery/setup? What's the time limit on the demo? Are any fees involved? Does an at home delivery effect any discounts you might offer? How do you qualify, if at all, the customer? How do handle if there is some damage to the loudspeaker?
Just curious. My initial reaction to this thread was that the OP was asking for a lot to get his home demo, but based upon others' comments, may be that's the norm or at least the expectation of buyers of $30k plus loudspeakers. The customer's always right?
