How does everyone rate their local hi fi dealer?
i'm a bit disgruntled with mine. I'm not going to name them but I had telephone conversations with them on Thursday and Friday of this week about trading in my Tannoys which I bought from them.
We'd agreed a price and checked they had the models of speaker in stock I wanted to demo. They did, so I said I would go in this afternoon to audition the speakers and hopefully do a deal.
Last night I merrily disconnected and boxed up my rather large Tannoy floorstanders in all their original packing. Bundled them into the car and went off to see the dealer this afternoon.
I got there, explained why I was there and about my previous telephone conversations. I was allowed to demo the speakers and the salesman couldn't have been more helpful.
After an hour of listening I'd decided which ones I wanted. I was told we couldn't do a deal on the day because the guy I'd spoken with on the phone wasn't in. :doh:
To be fair the salesman was very apologetic and did his best to contact the person in question but to no avail.
I was asked to leave my details and someone is now supposedly going to contact me on Monday.:(
I politely made it known that I wasn't too happy about the situation having gone to the trouble of getting the boxes out and packing the speakers up. Especially when they knew I was coming in.
It's not like they don't know me as I've bought amps, speakers, cd player & tv's off them in the past.
Maybe it's a sign that I shouldn't change my Tannoy V4's for a pair of Boston Acoustic A26's. :scratch:
