Yes I know it’s dangerous but I don’t think I have any options.

A while back i dropped in my dealer and he was running them in (Chora 826) on a Nova with standard cables…they sounded really nice, albeit in a small room and not yet run in.
Good luck Pete and enjoy the experience

When she gets home just have a dozen roses sitting on top of one speaker for her and very nice gift certificate to a day spa on the other…

Would you believe the flowers were the one thing I’ve forgotten. Just ordered some, she’s at the hairdresser and I’m hoping they’re delivered before she gets home.

Other than the one I described! It works for me.
I do agree with your suggestion but I’m not lugging the amp and speakers down to Sydney. It’s a 2 man job plus I now don’t have a car that they’ll fit in comfortably.
What I might try is take my own music especially stuff I’m real familiar with and if I like what I hear there I’ll pay for them with an agreement that if I’m not happy (with a time that suits both) I can return them.

No they arrived on time and I’m off the hook.

You won’t know until you try. There’s certainly no harm in asking.
That is effectively a home audition, just having to pay a refundable deposit of the full price, so pretty near perfect. (It’s what I’ve done on a couple of occasions by ‘mail order’ (Or rather email order!)

Dealers differ. One wanted full payment refundable on return. Another wanted 50%. I am currently home demoing from a dealer who asked for no deposit and I feel the strongest bond with them which should carry on with future purchases.

Yes, but I mean they never seem to go back. I’ve kept everything I’ve tried on a home audition 
I’ve been pretty good at returning stuff this year. The (rather expensive) speakers went back so did the CD/Flat Cap.

Did your wife enjoy the flowers and her birthday? I hope all your plans worked out…
Cheers all went well, your post and the florist saved me. Heads a bit sore, but the in laws arrive today (I tried stopping them but it didn’t work). Mrs Pete’s girl friends ambushed her and took her out.

I happy to hear that all went well! …the sixtieth birthday is a milestone and it looks like she was in good hands and enjoyed the day.
