Speaker placement at dealers

Is it just me...or are dealers...even hi-end shops...less than ideal when auditioning speakers?...they often appear baffled when I move speakers out into the room...and closer together...how do they expect a proper assessment...when speakers are flush against a wall...with ten other models between them?

I dont bother with live music...it usually sounds like crap,the drinks are overpriced,and the place is full of twenty something gap models...the exception...I will go out to Orchestra Hall...

Are dealers not allowed to answer threads? I assume this is why Symphony for Sounds' comments were retracted...is this the case?
