Aw Shucks.....
Though it has made me a better customer. One of the most offensive questions a sales dude can open with, for me, is "how much do you want to spend". I always opened with "What kind of music do you like to listen to". Then, the way I'd approach the money question, after a couple of minutes of chatting about music was with, " well, I can show you some stuff that you'd really like at all kinds of prices, but no sense falling in love with something that breaks the bank, so......."
Anyway, these online conversations have been very helpful to me, and I'm refining my music room ideas- in directions, I hadn't first considered, so Thanks you all!
