Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems Meridian or Linn?

Here's my experience so far on three Linn dealerships:

Dealer A (local) won't ask Linn for a demonstration pair of loudspeakers unless I comit to buying them - but doesn't accept the arguement that I can't comit to buying something that I haven't heard, and can't possibly say whether I would like their sound unless I hear them first.

Dealer B (fifty miles away) was more than happy to audition a complete set of Linn loudspeakers (�2.5k value). Now, half the fun of buying a new system is installing it myself - but this dealer doesn't sell 'boxes' and therefore won't sell unless I engage their installation service at �50 per hour plus call-out charge. They won't offer any discount for 'cash'.

Dealer C (two-hundred miles away) is perfectly content to sell me whatever number of 'boxes' I desire, offers substantial discount on the loudspeakers, and offers incredibly cheap shipping (an Elite dealer).

On the first two experiences, I'm begining to remember why I didn't buy Linn thirteen years ago.
