Omains,
Try this - talk to you local dealers and tell them what you are looking for and your budget. If you have a local JM or Joseph Audio dealer they probably get trades, demo's, or have a customer who is selling a pair, etc. They may be able to come close to your budget if your budget is reasonable. If it's a little more $ - so what - it's worth it to be able to demo.
Be up front with your dealer then let them dicate the next steps. They will appreciate it. If they are jerks about it - take your business somewhere else.
Some say it's the cost of doing business for dealers others say it is way uncool. I say be honest with them and sometimes you end up with a great deal and good relationship with your local dealer.
