Very few people know how to run a business. It continually appalls me to see how many hi-fi retailers (among many other types of businesses) that run themselves into the ground by acting like jack asses. I can't believe it either.
A dealer I know won't even let you take ANYTHING home to audition it! He wants you to buy first and then he proceeds to tell me there is NO return policy!!??!? Well heck, that is no more help that buying on Audiogon - but it sure costs a whole lot more! (IMO, warranty is just about worthless except for CD players).
There are some good dealers so don't give up hope but yes, be prepared to have to look long and hard for them. Oh well...
