Who is the WORST Audio Shop?

I don't have as much money as you, or most likely 95% of the members on this forum, but I am proud to say that I have not lowballed any of those members from whom I have purchased.
It does seem that you have done your due dilligence in giving credit where it is due.
I have never heard of, or been to AV South. They sound about as accomodating as many other high end stores, which is saying very little.

I still say Sunny wins the title for worst store.

You probably have more than I do. My point is that no one regardless of what they have or don't have should be treated poorly weather they are a prospect, customer, or client especially when others are within listening distance. They have acted this way for years, and are not making what they once did partly due to their snobbishness. I'm not the only one that feels the way I do about them. Being rich to me is being able to see out of both eves, hear out of both ears, and having use of all limbs. Alot of people aren't so fortunate. Money is good for things like not having to work, helping others, and buying tube equipment. Just don't buy from AV SOUTH or any other places that think that they outclass you. Wouldn't it be funny to win the powerball lotto, buy the same equipment (in volume) the snobs use and sell it for pennies on the dollar. No warranty, but a guarantee for 2 years, a new unit off the shelf. Locate yourself right down the street from them and watch them sink. If you lose millions, who cares, you're still having fun, and didn't work for the money anyway. Happy listening.

Why are people that 'Sell' high priced merchandise often appear snobbish, arrogant, elitists etc.... Shouldn't they welcome any potential customer? Is there a name for this condition?

This also seems to apply to some real estate agents, Butlers and French waiters. Or so I hear / read.

I thought of this while watching the first episode of Downton Abbey last night.
Cheers

Rok2.. they act like we are supposed to be in awe of what they have and treat them like gods. I usually ask if they have anything better than what I'm looking for and they seem to get the message. I could just as soon buy a hot rod car, rare coin, high priced guitar or another item that suits my fancy, so I make it clear that electronics are not the only thing that interest me. I guess you have to act more snobbish than them, and let them know that you're not impressed in what they have, but may consider something if it interests you. Is your other car a Rolls Royce too? Happy listening.
